The consequent reduction of the Conversion of Propositions from three species to one—that of Simple Conversion.
As in these forms of assertion the predicate is exactly co-extensive with the subject, they all admit of simple conversion; and by this we obtain two additional forms—Some B is all A, and No B is some A.
The consequent reduction of the Conversion of Propositions from three species to one--that of Simple Conversion.
As in these forms of assertion the predicate is exactly coextensive with the subject, they all admit of simple conversion; and by this we obtain two additional forms--Some B is all A, and No B is some A.
We have, then, two cases of simple conversion: of I.
It is the chief use of quantifying the predicate that, thereby, every proposition is capable of simple conversion.
The term conversion by negation has been arbitrarily limited to the exact inferential procedure of permutation followed by simple conversion.
When A and O have been permuted, they become respectively E and I, and, in this form, admit of simple conversion.
As a consequence every proposition would admit of simple conversion, that is to say, of having the subject and predicate transposed without any further change in the proposition.
E and I admit of simple conversion, because the quantity of the subject and predicate is alike in each, both subject and predicate being distributed in E and undistributed in I.
In Simple Conversion, there is no change in either quality or quantity.
For instance, by Simple Conversion we may convert a proposition by changing the places of its subject and predicate, respectively.
The Particular Affirmative (symbol I) is also converted by Simple Conversion in which there is no change in either quality or quantity.
In Simple Conversion there is no change in either quality or quantity.
The Universal Negative (symbol E) is converted by Simple Conversion, in which there is no change in either quality or quantity.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "simple conversion" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
