2. Reason / D. Definition / 1. Definitions
Interdefinition is useless by itself, but if we grasp one separately, we have them both [Lewis]
     Full Idea: All circles of interdefinition are useless by themselves. But if we reach one of the interdefined pair, then we have them both.
     From: David Lewis (Defining 'Intrinsic' (with Rae Langton) [1998], IV)
