“Just as a concept becomes a unit when integrated with others into a wider concept, so a genus becomes a single unit, a species, when integrated with others into a wider genus. For instance, 鈥渢able鈥 is a species of the genus 鈥渇urniture,鈥 which is a species of the genus 鈥渉ousehold goods,鈥 which is a species of the genus 鈥渕an-made objects.鈥 鈥淢an鈥 is a species of the genus 鈥渁nimal,鈥 which is a species of the genus 鈥渙rganism,鈥 which is a species of the genus 鈥渆ntity.”
