Question

This is the first title word of a work that uses the example of the word “every” modifying “whiteness” to distinguish categorematic and syncategorematic terms, as well as dividing supposition into personal, simple, and material types. A text whose common title begins with this word provides a series of arguments in four books used to convert non-Christians. This word, which names a medieval genre of comprehensive (*) manuals divided into articles, is the first title word of a logic textbook by William of (10[1])Ockham that (10[1])defends the position that universals exist only in the mind. A text whose title begins with this word presents the “first mover” as one of the “Five (10[1])Ways” (10[1])to argue for (10[1])God’s existence. For 10 points, the title of Thomas Aquinas’s magnum opus pairs what (10[1])word with Theologica? ■END■
