The sentence you provided is generally considered true in the context of philosophical and logical definitions. A "perfect real definition" is typically understood as one that captures the essence of a thing by specifying its proximate genus (the broader category it belongs to) and its specific difference (the characteristics that distinguish it from other members of that genus). This aligns with classical definitions found in Aristotelian logic, where defining a concept in terms of its essential qualities is emphasized.
Say if the following sentence is true or false “ the more prefect real definition is the essential definition in which it is thought to express the essence of a thing, indicating the proximate genus and the specific difference”
