==Description==
Generally a trichotomy is a three-way [[classificatory]] division, and some philosophers pursued trichotomies in particular. Important trichotomies [[discussed]] by [[Thomas Aquinas|Aquinas]] include the [[causal]] principles ([[agent]], patient, [[act]]) and the acts of the [[intellect]] ([[concept]], [[judgment]], reasoning), both rooted in Aristotle; the [[transcendental]]s of [[being]] ([[unity]], [[truth]], [[goodness]]); and the requisites of the [[beautiful]] (wholeness, [[harmony]], [[radiance]]).

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Sanders_Peirce Charles Sanders Peirce] built his [[philosophy]] on trichotomies and triadic [[relations]] based on his trichotomy of categories (firstness: [[quality]] of [[feeling]]; secondness: [[reaction]], [[resistance]], dyadic relation; and thirdness: [[representation]], triadic relation).
