坚白相盈

事物所具有的“坚”和“白”的属性互相包含在并吞个事物中。一块坚贞的白石，当眼睛看它时，只可看到石之白，看不到石之坚；当手触摸它时，只可摸到石之坚，摸不到石之白。但在一块石头中，则同期包含“坚”和“白”的属性，两种属性不因感官的局限而相互隔离。后期墨家借由“坚白石”的例子，抒发关于事物属性的意识。事物的各式属性固然出于不同的感官，但不错同期联系在并吞个事物中。

Solidity and Whiteness Fulfill Each Other

Different attributes of the same object, such as solidity and whiteness, fulfill one another. When you look at a solid white stone, you can only see its color, without knowing it is solid; when you touch the stone, you can only feel its solidity, without knowing it is white. Though solidness and whiteness cannot be perceived by a single sensory organ, the two attributes cannot be separated from each other, because they are possessed by the same stone. Later Mohist scholars used the example of the solid white stone to explain that attributes of any single object, though perceivable through different organs, are intimately associated with each other.

t引例：无坚得白，必相盈也。（《墨子·经说下》）（无法看到石头的坚贞而看到其白色，但石头的坚贞和白色势必互相包含在并吞事物中。）

Though it is only possible to see a white stone without knowing it is solid, the two attributes of whiteness and solidness must fulfill each other. (Mozi)
