Example text

There is not truth or falsity in all sentences: a prayer is a sentence but is neither true or false. The present investigation deals with the statementmaking sentence; the others we can dismiss, since consideration of them belongs rather to the study of rhetoric or poetry. 5 . The first single statement-making sentence is the affirmation, next is the negation. The others are single in virtue of a connective. Every statement-making sentence must contain a verb or an inflexion of a verb. For even the definition of man is not yet a statement-making sentence-unless 'is' or 'will be' or 'was' or something of this sort is added.

G. every man is white-not every man is white, no man is white-some man is white. g. every man is just-no man is just. g. g. Socrates is white-Socrates is not white. But if they are about a universal not taken universally it is not always the case that one is true and the other false. For it is true to say at the same time that a man is white and that a man is not white, or that a man is noble and a man is not noble (for if base, then not noble; and if something is becoming something, then it is not that thing).

Now it is possible to state of what does hold that it does not hold, of what does not hold that it does hold, of what does hold that it does hold, and of what does not hold that it does not hold. Similarly for times outside the present. So it must be possible to deny whatever anyone has affirmed, and to affirm whatever anyone has denied. Thus it is clear that for every affirmation there is an opposite negation, and for every negation an opposite affirmation. Let us call an affirmation and a negation which are opposite a contradiction.
