The square of opposition — A new approach

Summary

The theory of the square of opposition has been worked out many centuries ago as a part of Aristotelian logic of terms.

In spite of its inexactness (for instance it is not possible to decide whether the termsquare of opposition is a logical or a metalogical term) this theory is included without any changes in the usual elementary course of logic.

The author defines the square of opposition in the language of the logic of propositions (see Def. 1.000) and derives from this definition the usual laws of the square of opposition and several new theorems.
