§ 346. We now pass on to the two subjects of Definition and Division, the discussion of which will complete our treatment of the second part of logic. Definition and division correspond respectively to the two kinds of quantity possessed by terms.
Definition is unfolding the quantity of a term in intension.
Division is unfolding the quantity of a term in extension.
