==Etymology==
[[Latin]] tri- (three) + unus one — more at [[one]]
*Date: [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_Century 1605]
==See also==
[[trinity]]
==Description==
In [[theology]], and in [[philosophy]] related to it, trichotomy is the [[belief]] that man consists of three parts; a [[body]], [[soul]], and [[spirit]]. This stands in stark [[contrast]] to [[Duality|dichotomy]].
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).
