Real Definition

Question 14

limit a thing according to its essence, contingency (the absence of necessity; the fact of being so without having to be so) and/or accident (in Aristotelian thought: a property of a thing which is not essential to its nature). When the definition is done on its essential elements, the definition is either through genus and species (specific difference). When it is done in accordance to its accidents, the definition is through the properties.

Answer 14

Intrinsic

Question 15

limits a thing or term according to its genus, i.e. “Man is an animal.” In this case man is defined or limited in the context of his animality. It can also limit a thing in terms of its species, i.e. “Man is a rational animal.” Here, rationality or rational animal is exclusive to man.

Essential Definiton

Question 16

limits a thing according to its attributes or properties (those natural necessities of a thing that are not part of its essence) e.g. “Man is a smiling being.”

Answer 16

Descriptive Definition

Question 17

limits a thing according to its origin, or cause or finality (purpose). An _______ (or relational) property is a property that depends on a thing’s relationship with other things.

Examples:

“Death (cause) is the separation of the soul from the body,”
“God(origin) is the creator of man.”
“A ballpen is an instrument for writing (purpose).”

Answer 17

Extrinsic

• from the Latin word “nominales”, meaning “having reference to a name.”
• defined or limited according to its term or name.
• both etymological and vernacular (belonging to a specified group) nominal definitions limit a thing from the standpoint of its name or term.

the consideration is made by examining the root word or origin of the term. Fortunately, most of the English words that we know of can be defined in the nominal way.

Answer 18

Nominal Definition

e.g. Logic is the science of correct thinking and reasoning

Answer 20

Vernacular
