French term or phrase: est appelée par
From an academic text on Plato's political philosophy:

...le "Politique" tout entier a pour but de démontrer que la politique est une science en définissant progressivement cette science que précisément elle est. Comment découvrir la voie qui mène à cette définition ? Comme dans le "Sophiste", la méthode empruntée est la division dichotomique. La première coupe sépare l’ensemble des sciences en deux genres distincts : les sciences ressortissant à la gnōstikē et les sciences ressortissant à la praktikē. La constitution de ces deux genres ***est appelée par*** l’usage de deux paradigmes distincts illustrant chacun des deux genres : l’arithmétique et le charpentage.

Explanation:
It seems to me that the writer is using a lot of words to say something that can be expressed quite simply in English:

"These two types use two different illustrative paradigms: arithmetic and carpentry."

In fact you could even leave out "two types", as they've said this in the previous sentence.

They actually say "deux genres" three times in two sentences, which is quite unnecessary.

Thank you! You're right, the original is too wordy and redundant.

known by, recognised by


Explanation:
Hi there,

I'd say something along the lines of recognised by or defined by, in that the use of the two paradigms defines these genres, or that these genres can be recognised by their paradigms.

Hope that helps!

neutral  Francis Marche: It's the USE of the paradigms, not the paradigms themselves, which undermines your case for "known by" or "recognised by".

  -> I guess it would be 'emploi' rather than 'usage' which would back up using 'defined by/recognised by'. It's talking about their composition, though.

is induced by


Explanation:
"être appelé par" = to be induced by
"être appelé à" = to be called for

the development of the two genres/categories is induced by the use of two separate paradigms, etc...
