Subsumption (philosophy)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The subsumption (also subsumption ), German subordination , is a classificatory process in which one assigns a term or a structure under another term or another structure. The procedure of subsumption logic or classification logic is seen as the opposite of dialectical logic .

In philosophical parlance, the term appears at the same time and with the same meaning as the term “subordination” in the 17th century and seems to have spread due to its prominent use by Kant .
