... for these truths hold good for everything that is, and not for some
special genus apart from others. And all men use them, because they are
true of being qua being ... For a principle which everyone must have
to understand anything that is, is not a hypothesis ... Evidently then,
such a principle is the most certain of all; which principle this is,
let us proceed to say. It is, that the same attribute cannot at the
same time belong and not belong to the subject in the same respect.
-- Aristotle
