1. PREDICABLES

2. Predicables
 Or logical universals
 are the different modes or ways in which
a universal (used as a predicate term in a
proposition) can be predicated of its
subject.
 In the thinking process, predicable
enhances depth of knowledge about
realities
 they anchor the thinker’s capacity to
define or describe realities

3. PREDICABLES
The five predicables are:
 Species - refers to the manner in which a universal idea
when used as a predicate of a proposition expresses the
whole essence of its subject
Ex. Man is a rational animal.
 Genus - refers to the manner in which a universal idea
when used as a predicate of a proposition expresses a
part of the essence of its subject, that part which the
subject has in common with other species in the same
class
Ex. Gorilla is an animal.

4. 
 Differentia – when a predicate of the proposition
separates from one thing to another, especially a
trait that distinguishes one subclass to another (one
species from another species in the same genus)
Ex. “Man is rational” and “Brute is irrational”
 Property (propium) – the essential trait of a predicate
Ex. Vice Ganda is risible.
 Accident – the unessential trait of a predicate
Ex. Michael Jackson is white.
