THE TRUTH
8-DIVISION
Division may be scientific or unscientific. In scientific division the subject is divided and no remainder is left; in the unscientific way it is not exhausted. For instance, to divide living beings into men, horses, monkeys and rats, is not a proper division, for the class (living beings) is not exhausted that way. The proper mode is to divide them as under :
LIVING BEINGS
Men
Not-men
Literate
Not-literate (illiterate)
Well-read
Not-well-read
In this way a division can be made without the possibility or risk of confusion.
