Conversion
June 8, 2011 1 CommentConversion is a transition in categorical (Aristotlean) logic. It involves only one step:
- Switch the subject and predicate terms.
If, for example, one asserts the I-Type sentence ‘Some 4-chan users are trolls’, a conversion would:
- switch ’4-chan users’ and ‘trolls’ in the sentence, producing: ‘Some trolls are 4-chan users’.
