Thus the negative view-point, as embodied in the second mode of predication under consi. deration is always real and useful in its own way. It is, no doubt, complementary to the positive view of it but is not thereby identical with it. The negative view does not contradict the positive view as the contents of time, place, mood and constitutive substance in the two view-points are different. In taking a negative view of an objeot, we come across new aspects, new implications
