 1      I,  14|           In the second figure no affirmative conclusion is possible,
 2      I,  14|           thing’s essence must be affirmative; while in the third figure
 3      I,  14|      figure the conclusion can be affirmative, but cannot be universal,
 4      I,  15|     premiss containing it must be affirmative: if in the second, either
 5      I,  17|    negative. If the conclusion is affirmative, (a) (i) it may be inferred
 6      I,  21|                 21~Further, if in affirmative demonstration the series
 7      I,  21|        minor premiss—since B-C is affirmative. As regards the other premiss
 8      I,  21|       does so also in the case of affirmative demonstration. That in fact
 9      I,  24|         or particular, and either affirmative or negative; the question
10      I,  25|    particular demonstration. That affirmative demonstration excels negative
11      I,  25|        paribus superior. Now both affirmative and negative demonstration
12      I,  25|       must be negative, the other affirmative. So we are compelled to
13      I,  25|        demonstration expands, the affirmative premisses must increase
14      I,  25|        because in the terms of an affirmative syllogism the middle is
15      I,  25|         the other premisses being affirmative. If, then, that through
16      I,  25| proposition is proved through the affirmative and not vice versa, affirmative
17      I,  25|   affirmative and not vice versa, affirmative demonstration, being prior
18      I,  25|      universal premiss asserts in affirmative demonstration and in negative
19      I,  25|          negative denies: and the affirmative proposition is prior to
20      I,  25|         that the basic premiss of affirmative demonstration is superior
21      I,  25|        premisses is superior.~(4) Affirmative demonstration is more of
22      I,  26|                          26~Since affirmative demonstration is superior
23      I,  26|      reductio ad impossibile, and affirmative demonstration, being superior
24     II,  3 |          every case universal and affirmative; whereas, on the other hand,
25     II,  3 |           And again, not even all affirmative conclusions in the first
26     II,  8 |        proved being universal and affirmative, the proof is in the first
