Qua means a word for “as”.

How useful is link-word in English? I was just reading about qua in Fowler’s. (incl.. Plot. 154, post about it)… The third ed by Burchfield) a couple of days ago. “As a person or thing spoken about from more than one point of view, and in one aspect a statement about him (or it) is to be limited to him”: “Qua lover he must be condemned for doing what said citizen he would be condemned for not doing.

This

is where the lover aspects is differentiated from another aspect in which he may be regarded. Its a matter of one verb – one denoting a person or a thing in all aspects (he), the other a single verb (lover, or citizen) – and one adjective. What

you want a word for pretentious, avoid it — it usually adds nothing over “as” anyways.

From a political point of view and reference to usage, “And as to usage, as is often the better choice of word, qua word. “(

”ia’-b-‘-“( ””(-ia =)”)”))'”)).

In Latin, It is pronounced “what” or “as”. When we Google a word, what does it mean using an entry in dictionary? “The work of art

qua art can be judged only by aesthetic criteria” (Sundays 8th September 2016). “The

point (excepting sounding a little pretentious) would be to contrast “art qua art” with, say, “art as a business” – where the criteria would be whether a particular piece is salable.

Is one of the prefixes used for the phrase, “money is sine qua non for political campaigns”?

Beware that qua is truly 3 heteronyms (ie: same spelling, but different meaning and pronunciation). Why’s the answer of user Alex’s answer above not reference the same qua, it does introduce only 2 of the 3 heteronyms. What is the relationship between pronunciation and meaning of words under the Venn diagram?

I want readability to be smooth. I eschew the > use of >.

In brief, and if I haven’t erred, the meaning of ‘as’ (discussed above) matches Etymology 1. I can’t be ambiguous.
For the use in ‘sine qun’ I use img_4_aq_on_fni’ and is . I use this also on Etymology 2.

Etymology 2 (

I first encountered qua (repeatedly) many years ago in a translation of Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica, who used the (Latin) word to convey a specific meaning involving calling out of a particular inherent quality or identity of a given thing. The term seems to retain a special sense in analytical philosophical works today. What is qua in Richard Cross, The Metaphysics of the Incarnation: ‘In virtue of’. Is this correct in my

definition as’Quora’? Define reduplication is found in Scotus: (8.

_{10)’Qua”…properly denotes that that which follows it is the formal reason for the inherence of the predicate: such as ‘i am the first human being, white or coloured, is seen’.}

…Think

of Socrates. It is true of socrates that he is coloured qua _r white, and it is false of him that he is coloured qua _r man; but this obviously does not entail that Socrates qua _r man is not coloured—if it did, socrates would be (absurdly) both coloured and not coloured.

…

speculative analyses are more interesting. What were the following letters

_{from Aquinas? Just as in the human and corporeal matters those things which it can be called into doubt whether they belong to a whole or a part, we don’t ascribe to the whole simply or without determination if they inhere in a part: for we don’t say that an Ethiopian is white, but that he is white according to his teeth.}

Aquinas’s part here is that the predicate ‘white’ is not true in the whole Ethiopian but only in his teeth. Using’qua sa’to pick _out this sense of’qua ‘, Aquinas thus accepts the following definition of ‘qua sa : (A) x qua sa y _is F

= y is _a piece of x and y is_y__f].

The appearance _of the verse ‘Qua’ is, therefore, a sign of parenchys. What is the main purpose of sub-heading a topic name?

The terms qua _r and qua _sa that Cross uses (above) in his analysis of the formal logic of Aquinas and Duns Scotus are thus special subcategories of the more general reduplicative sense of qua (as “in virtue of”) that he ascribes to Scotus near the outset of the extract.

Offeredly one way in which qua continues to be used today is by modern scholars in connection with analyses and discussions of the logic of medieval philosophers.
