Predication (philosophy)

Predication in philosophy refers to an act of judgement where one term is subsumed under another.^[1] A comprehensive conceptualization describes it as the understanding of the relation expressed by a predicative structure primordially (i.e. both originally and primarily) through the opposition between particular and general or the one and the many.^[1]

Predication is also associated or used interchangeably with the concept of attribution where both terms pertain to the way judgment and ideas acquire a new property in the second operation of the mind (or the mental operation of judging^[2]).^[3]
