 The Logic’s view of proposition formation also suggests a problem for embedded generality (Buroker 1994). Subordinate clauses must be located in either the subject or the predicate. But some embedded clauses make assertions and some do not. Despite the two verbs in the complex proposition “Men who are pious are charitable”, for example, it is clear that one is not affirming of all men or even some men that they are pious. On the other hand, “God who is invisible created the world which is visible” permits three assertions, “God is invisible”, “The world is visible”, and “God created the world” (II.5, 87). The Logic explains the difference between these two kinds of embedding in terms of “determinative” and “explicative” subordinate clauses (or, as they say, relative pronouns, see II.6–8). Determinative subordinate clauses restrict the signification of the antecedent of the relative pronoun (e.g., “men who are pious”) whereas explicative clauses do not (e.g., “God who is invisible”). In fact both determinations and explications can be carried out as well without embedded or subordinate clauses, as in the sentences “Pious men are charitable” and “The invisible God created the visible world.” When working these cases out, as usual in the Logic,
