1 I, 1 | By universal I mean the statement that something belongs to 2 I, 3 | what has been said: the statement that it is possible that 3 I, 5 | to that of the universal statement: by "an opposite manner" 4 I, 5 | I mean, if the universal statement is negative, the particular 5 I, 5 | For since the negative statement is convertible, N will belong 6 I, 5 | science.~If then the universal statement is opposed to the particular, 7 I, 5 | nature of the particular statement. For since it is true that 8 I, 5 | nature of the particular statement. But if the minor premiss 9 I, 6 | For, since the affirmative statement is convertible, S will belong 10 I, 6 | For since the affirmative statement is convertible S will belong 11 I, 6 | nature of the particular statement.~Nor is a syllogism possible 12 I, 7 | assumption of the false statement the syllogism comes about 13 I, 8 | terms. For the negative statement is convertible alike in 14 I, 8 | figure when the universal statement is affirmative, and the 15 I, 10| Since then the negative statement is convertible, B is possible 16 I, 10| some C. Since the negative statement is convertible, it will 17 I, 10| Nor again, if the negative statement is necessary but particular, 18 I, 13| from the proof of a simple statement. We proceed to discuss that 19 I, 14| belong to no C. For the statement that it is possible for 20 I, 15| Further we must understand the statement that B’s being depends on 21 I, 17| belong to no A, for the one statement is the contradictory of 22 I, 24| premiss, and that a universal statement is proved only when all 23 I, 24| universal, while a particular statement is proved both from two 24 I, 26| negatives: the original statement is destroyed, whether the 25 I, 27| selected, because the negative statement implied above is convertible. 26 I, 27| universal premisses. If the statement is indefinite, it is uncertain 27 I, 27| is universal, but if the statement is definite, the matter 28 I, 27| proposition: for the other statement is useless and impossible, 29 I, 28| to convert the universal statement into a particular.~It is 30 I, 28| no F, since the negative statement is convertible, and F belongs 31 I, 31| need to prove a positive statement, the middle term through 32 I, 31| neither possible to refute a statement by this method of division, 33 I, 34| not set out well in the statement, since if the things which 34 I, 36| true. Take for example the statement that there is a single science 35 I, 45| figure; but if the negative statement is converted, we shall have 36 I, 45| C. Convert the negative statement and you will have the middle 37 I, 45| C. Convert the negative statement, and you will have the first 38 I, 45| But if the affirmative statement concerns B, and the negative 39 I, 45| to no C: for the negative statement is convertible.~But if the 40 I, 45| particular, whenever the negative statement concerns the major extreme, 41 I, 45| C: convert the negative statement and you will have the first 42 I, 45| But when the affirmative statement concerns the major extreme, 43 I, 45| but not to all C: for the statement AB does not admit of conversion, 44 I, 45| viz. when the negative statement is not universal: all the 45 I, 45| But since the particular statement is convertible, A will belong 46 I, 45| Similarly if the negative statement is universal, the affirmative 47 I, 45| Bs. But if the negative statement is particular, no resolution 48 I, 45| belong to some C: convert the statement BC and both premisses will 49 I, 45| Whenever the universal statement is negative, resolution 50 I, 45| figure, whenever the negative statement is universal, e.g. if A 51 I, 45| some B. But if the negative statement is particular, no resolution 52 I, 46| good". If then every single statement may truly be said to be 53 II, 2 | animal. Similarly if the statement AB is negative. For it is 54 II, 2 | will be true, although the statement BC is false. Similarly if 55 II, 3 | whichever term the negative statement concerns.~(3) Also if one 56 II, 3 | Similarly if the negative statement is transposed: the proof 57 II, 4 | conclusion true. Similarly if the statement BC is false, the statement 58 II, 4 | statement BC is false, the statement AC true, the conclusion 59 II, 6 | proved whenever the universal statement is affirmative. Let A belong 60 II, 7 | C: the conclusion is the statement AB. If then it is assumed 61 II, 9 | belongs to some C, and the statement AB stands, the conclusion 62 II, 9 | some C. But the original statement has not been refuted: for 63 II, 9 | be given if the universal statement is affirmative.~ 64 II, 14| refute by reduction to a statement admitted to be false; whereas 65 II, 15| before, the affirmative statement concerned B, now it concerns 66 II, 17| ought not to understand the statement that the false conclusion 67 II, 18| depends on the first false statement in it. Every syllogism is 68 II, 25| is knowledge. If now the statement BC is equally or more probable 69 II, 25| reduction: nor again when the statement BC is immediate: for such 70 II, 25| is immediate: for such a statement is knowledge.~
