| Section 7.  The Correlate*
|
| All students of philosophy know that we can become aware
| of any quality only through the relation of its subject of
| inhesion to something else;  and it is an equally familiar
| fact that no relation can have place without a quality or
| reference to a 'ground'.  The occasion of the introduction
| of reference to a ground, therefore, is generalization or
| contrast.
|
| In generalization and contrast, the primary substance has
| annexed to it a correlate.  Reference to a correlate, then,
| is the next conception in order after reference to a ground.
| This conception is so easy to seize that no elucidation of it
| is needed.  It cannot be prescinded from reference to a ground,
| although this latter can be prescinded from it.
|
|* This section should be enlarged and rewritten.
