universal

    Book, Paragraph
1 I, 1 | another. This is either universal or particular or indefinite. 2 I, 1 | particular or indefinite. By universal I mean the statement that 3 I, 1 | mark to show whether it is universal or particular, e.g. "contraries 4 I, 2 | and negative premisses are universal, others particular, others 5 I, 2 | is necessary then that in universal attribution the terms of 6 I, 2 | animal.~First then take a universal negative with the terms 7 I, 3 | necessary premisses. The universal negative converts universally; 8 I, 3 | the simple negatives; the universal negative premiss does not 9 I, 4 | neither a particular nor a universal conclusion is necessary. 10 I, 4 | premisses. As an example of a universal affirmative relation between 11 I, 4 | animal, man, horse; of a universal negative relation, the terms 12 I, 4 | when the major premiss is universal, whether affirmative or 13 I, 4 | have been possible with a universal negative minor premiss. 14 I, 4 | may also be given if the universal premiss is negative.~Nor 15 I, 4 | proved by this figure, viz. universal and particular, affirmative 16 I, 5 | opposite to that of the universal statement: by "an opposite 17 I, 5 | opposite manner" I mean, if the universal statement is negative, the 18 I, 5 | particular is affirmative: if the universal is affirmative, the particular 19 I, 5 | substance, science.~If then the universal statement is opposed to 20 I, 5 | let the major premiss be universal, e.g. let M belong to no 21 I, 5 | major premiss as before be universal, e.g. let M belong to all 22 I, 5 | terms to illustrate the universal affirmative relation, for 23 I, 5 | if the minor premiss is universal, and M belongs to no O, 24 I, 5 | similar in form, and one is universal, the other particular, a 25 I, 5 | all are negative, whether universal or particular.~ 26 I, 6 | middle term.~If they are universal, whenever both P and R belong 27 I, 6 | which of the premisses is universal. For if R belongs to all 28 I, 6 | and if the affirmative is universal, a syllogism will be possible 29 I, 6 | to some S. Terms for the universal affirmative relation are 30 I, 6 | animate, man, animal. For the universal negative relation it is 31 I, 6 | if the negative term is universal, whenever the major is negative 32 I, 6 | the negative, but one is universal, the other particular. When 33 I, 6 | not be possible to reach a universal conclusion by means of this 34 I, 7 | reduce all syllogisms to the universal syllogisms in the first 35 I, 7 | all in the same way; the universal syllogisms are made perfect 36 I, 7 | figure can be reduced to universal syllogisms in the first 37 I, 7 | syllogisms can be reduced to universal syllogisms in the first 38 I, 7 | figure, if the terms are universal, are directly made perfect 39 I, 7 | seen) may be reduced to the universal syllogisms in the first 40 I, 7 | syllogisms may be reduced to the universal syllogisms in the first 41 I, 8 | the middle figure when the universal statement is affirmative, 42 I, 8 | the third figure when the universal is affirmative and the particular 43 I, 9 | particular syllogisms, if the universal premiss is necessary, then 44 I, 9 | be necessary, whether the universal premiss is negative or affirmative. 45 I, 9 | affirmative. First let the universal be necessary, and let A 46 I, 9 | just as it does not in the universal syllogisms. The same is 47 I, 10| negative premiss is both universal and necessary, then the 48 I, 10| the affirmative premiss is universal, the negative particular, 49 I, 10| negative premiss be both universal and necessary: let it be 50 I, 10| affirmative premiss be both universal and necessary, and let the 51 I, 10| which were used in the universal syllogisms. Nor again, if 52 I, 11| belong to some B, because the universal is convertible into the 53 I, 11| then, the premisses are universal, we have stated when the 54 I, 11| necessary. But if one premiss is universal, the other particular, and 55 I, 11| affirmative, whenever the universal is necessary the conclusion 56 I, 11| should be necessary and universal: for B falls under C. But 57 I, 11| figure is formed, and the universal premiss is not necessary, 58 I, 11| other negative, whenever the universal is both negative and necessary 59 I, 11| proposition is necessary, whether universal or particular, or the negative 60 I, 11| terms are wanted, when the universal affirmative is necessary, 61 I, 14| one of the premisses is universal, the other particular, when 62 I, 14| when the major premiss is universal there will be a perfect 63 I, 14| premiss is negative, and the universal is affirmative, the major 64 I, 14| affirmative, the major still being universal and the minor particular, 65 I, 14| major premiss is the minor universal, whether both are affirmative, 66 I, 14| clear that if the terms are universal in possible premisses a 67 I, 15| It is clear then that the universal must be understood simply, 68 I, 15| Again let the premiss AB be universal and negative, and assume 69 I, 15| Clearly then if the terms are universal, and one of the premisses 70 I, 15| one of the relations is universal, the other particular, then 71 I, 15| whenever the major premiss is universal and problematic, whether 72 I, 15| just as when the terms are universal. The demonstration is the 73 I, 15| whenever the major premiss is universal, but assertoric, not problematic, 74 I, 15| when the major premiss is universal and assertoric, whether 75 I, 15| if the minor premiss is universal, and the major particular, 76 I, 15| if the major premiss is universal, a syllogism always results, 77 I, 15| results, but if the minor is universal nothing at all can ever 78 I, 16| whether the premisses are universal or not: but if one is affirmative, 79 I, 16| whether the premisses are universal or not. Possibility in the 80 I, 16| the minor premiss, or the universal proposition in the affirmative 81 I, 16| if the minor premiss is universal, and problematic, whether 82 I, 16| animal-white-garment. But when the universal is necessary, the particular 83 I, 16| particular problematic, if the universal is negative we may take 84 I, 16| the negative; and if the universal is affirmative we may take 85 I, 17| affirmative or negative, universal or particular. But when 86 I, 17| is possible, but if the universal negative is assertoric a 87 I, 17| whenever one premiss is universal, the other particular, or 88 I, 18| whether the premisses are universal or particular. The proof 89 I, 18| proposition is assertoric, whether universal or particular, no syllogism 90 I, 18| assertoric proposition is universal, although no conclusion 91 I, 19| negative proposition is universal and necessary, a syllogism 92 I, 19| affirmative proposition is universal and necessary, no syllogistic 93 I, 19| proved in the same way as for universal propositions, and by the 94 I, 19| disconnects two terms is universal and necessary, though nothing 95 I, 19| has been said that if the universal and negative premiss is 96 I, 20| one of the premisses is universal, the other particular, a 97 I, 20| if the proposition BC is universal. Likewise also if the proposition 98 I, 20| should be negative-the one universal and the other particular-although 99 I, 21| one of the premisses is universal, the other particular, then 100 I, 21| affirmative, or when the universal is negative, the particular 101 I, 21| the affirmative premiss is universal, the negative particular, 102 I, 21| was given in the case of universal premisses, and proceeds 103 I, 22| given whether the terms are universal or not. For the syllogisms 104 I, 22| premiss is negative and universal, if it is problematic a 105 I, 22| where the premisses are universal; and the same terms may 106 I, 23| made perfect by means of universal syllogisms in the first 107 I, 23| and is reducible to the universal syllogisms in this figure.~ 108 I, 24| one of the premisses is universal either a syllogism will 109 I, 24| syllogism there must be a universal premiss, and that a universal 110 I, 24| universal premiss, and that a universal statement is proved only 111 I, 24| when all the premisses are universal, while a particular statement 112 I, 24| is proved both from two universal premisses and from one only: 113 I, 24| consequently if the conclusion is universal, the premisses also must 114 I, 24| the premisses also must be universal, but if the premisses are 115 I, 24| but if the premisses are universal it is possible that the 116 I, 24| the conclusion may not be universal. And it is clear also that 117 I, 26| difficult to attempt. The universal affirmative is proved by 118 I, 26| this in only one mood; the universal negative is proved both 119 I, 26| It is clear then that the universal affirmative is most difficult 120 I, 26| in all the figures, the universal negative in two. Similarly 121 I, 26| negative in two. Similarly with universal negatives: the original 122 I, 26| of one another, I mean, universal statements by means of particular, 123 I, 26| particular statements by means of universal: but it is not possible 124 I, 26| not possible to establish universal statements by means of particular, 125 I, 26| particular statements by means of universal. At the same time it is 126 I, 27| syllogism proceeds through universal premisses. If the statement 127 I, 27| uncertain whether the premiss is universal, but if the statement is 128 I, 28| purpose is to establish not a universal but a particular proposition, 129 I, 28| possible to convert the universal statement into a particular.~ 130 I, 28| which are primary and most universal, e.g. in reference to E 131 I, 29| syllogistically in another way, e.g. universal problems by the inquiry 132 I, 31| intention: for it takes the universal as middle. Let animal be 133 I, 31| logicians assume as middle the universal term, and as extremes that 134 I, 32| we must inquire which are universal and which particular, and 135 I, 32| sometimes men put forward the universal premiss, but do not posit 136 I, 32| if the premisses are not universal: for the middle term is 137 I, 32| figure, and in which the universal, in what sort the particular 138 I, 45| if the syllogism is not universal but particular, e.g. if 139 I, 45| have the middle figure.~The universal syllogisms in the second 140 I, 45| negative statement is not universal: all the rest can be resolved. 141 I, 45| negative, when the terms are universal we must take them in a similar 142 I, 45| the negative statement is universal, the affirmative particular: 143 I, 45| third figure. Whenever the universal statement is negative, resolution 144 I, 45| neither of the premisses is universal after conversion.~Syllogisms 145 I, 45| the negative statement is universal, e.g. if A belongs to no 146 II, 1 | Since some syllogisms are universal, others particular, all 147 II, 1 | others particular, all the universal syllogisms give more than 148 II, 1 | to all syllogisms whether universal or particular. But it is 149 II, 1 | concerning those which are universal. For all the things that 150 II, 1 | syllogism, just as in the universal syllogisms what is subordinate 151 II, 1 | possible in the case of universal syllogisms or else it is 152 II, 3 | whether the syllogisms are universal or particular, viz. when 153 II, 3 | no B and to some C, the universal premiss is wholly false, 154 II, 3 | the premiss AB which is universal is wholly false, the premiss 155 II, 3 | conclusion is possible when the universal premiss is true, and the 156 II, 3 | conclusion will be true, and the universal premiss true, but the particular 157 II, 3 | not belong to some C, the universal premiss is true, the particular 158 II, 3 | is true. Similarly if the universal premiss is affirmative and 159 II, 4 | taken when the premisses are universal, positive terms in positive 160 II, 5 | possible to demonstrate the universal premiss through the other 161 II, 5 | impossible to demonstrate the universal premiss: for what is universal 162 II, 5 | universal premiss: for what is universal is proved through propositions 163 II, 5 | through propositions which are universal, but the conclusion is not 164 II, 5 | but the conclusion is not universal, and the proof must start 165 II, 5 | not possible to prove the universal premiss, for the reason 166 II, 5 | AB is converted as in the universal syllogism, i.e "B belongs 167 II, 6 | But if the syllogism not universal, the universal premiss cannot 168 II, 6 | syllogism not universal, the universal premiss cannot be proved, 169 II, 6 | can be proved whenever the universal statement is affirmative. 170 II, 6 | being middle. But if the universal premiss is negative, the 171 II, 6 | proof will proceed as in the universal syllogisms, if it is assumed 172 II, 7 | reciprocally: for that which is universal is proved through statements 173 II, 7 | through statements which are universal, but the conclusion in this 174 II, 7 | through this figure the universal premiss. But if one premiss 175 II, 7 | premiss. But if one premiss is universal, the other particular, proof 176 II, 7 | are affirmative, and the universal concerns the minor extreme, 177 II, 7 | and the affirmative is universal, the other premiss can be 178 II, 7 | the negative premiss is universal, the other premiss is not 179 II, 7 | possible by converting the universal premiss to prove the other: 180 II, 7 | figure, when the syllogism is universal, proof is possible through 181 II, 8 | all B. For (as we saw) the universal is not proved through the 182 II, 8 | be contradictory and not universal. For one premiss is particular, 183 II, 8 | is no longer, as in the universal syllogisms, refutation in 184 II, 8 | not belong to some C. The universal premiss AB cannot be affected 185 II, 8 | neither of the premisses is universal. Similarly if the syllogism 186 II, 9 | as we saw) there is no universal syllogism. The other premiss 187 II, 9 | of the premisses taken is universal. Consequently the proposition 188 II, 9 | proof can be given if the universal statement is affirmative.~ 189 II, 10| and the premisses being universal. If then it is assumed that 190 II, 10| if the premisses are not universal. For either both premisses 191 II, 10| must be particular, or the universal premiss must refer to the 192 II, 10| of the premisses is not universal. For if A belongs to no 193 II, 10| if the premisses are not universal. For AC becomes universal 194 II, 10| universal. For AC becomes universal and negative, the other 195 II, 11| the figures, excepting the universal affirmative, which is proved 196 II, 11| belongs to no B. But the universal affirmative is not necessarily 197 II, 11| necessarily true if the universal negative is false. But if 198 II, 11| Consequently it is clear that the universal affirmative cannot be proved 199 II, 11| particular affirmative and the universal and particular negatives 200 II, 11| not necessary that if the universal negative is false, the universal 201 II, 11| universal negative is false, the universal affirmative should be true, 202 II, 12| all problems except the universal affirmative are proved per 203 II, 13| and in the last figure a universal conclusion, are proved in 204 II, 14| If the syllogism is not universal, but proof has been given 205 II, 14| the demonstration is not universal. The hypothesis will then 206 II, 15| opposition are possible, viz. universal affirmative to universal 207 II, 15| universal affirmative to universal negative, universal affirmative 208 II, 15| affirmative to universal negative, universal affirmative to particular 209 II, 15| particular affirmative to universal negative, and particular 210 II, 15| opposites I call those which are universal contraries, the universal 211 II, 15| universal contraries, the universal affirmative and the universal 212 II, 15| universal affirmative and the universal negative, e.g. "every science 213 II, 15| Similarly if one premiss is not universal: for the middle term is 214 II, 15| possible whether the terms are universal or not. Let B and C stand 215 II, 15| ways; we may have either universal affirmative and negative, 216 II, 15| affirmative and negative, or universal affirmative and particular 217 II, 15| particular affirmative and universal negative, and the relations 218 II, 21| knowledge either of the universal or of the particulars. Thus 219 II, 21| with a knowledge of the universal, but not with a knowledge 220 II, 21| cases.~By a knowledge of the universal then we see the particulars, 221 II, 21| have the knowledge of the universal but make a mistake in apprehending 222 II, 21| relation of knowledge of the universal to knowledge of the particular. 223 II, 21| except by means of the universal and the possession of the 224 II, 21| to have knowledge of the universal or to have knowledge proper 225 II, 21| to the knowledge of the universal would be a syllogism.~But 226 II, 26| particular at all or not in universal syllogisms. An objection 227 II, 26| every objection is either universal or particular, by two figures 228 II, 26| figures. If a man maintains a universal affirmative, we reply with 229 II, 26| affirmative, we reply with a universal or a particular negative; 230 II, 26| general if a man urges a universal objection he must frame 231 II, 26| contradiction with reference to the universal of the terms taken by his 232 II, 26| his opponent’s premiss is universal, e.g. he will point out 233 II, 26| science: "contraries" is universal relatively to these. And 234 II, 27| if it is true (for it is universal), that which proceeds through 235 II, 27| since the syllogism is not universal nor correlative to the matter
