Oppositional Inference
Subalternate Two propositions that have the same subjects and the
same predicate terms, and agree in quality but differ only in
quantity are subalterns. Subalterns are not, strictly speaking,
opposites at all because neither the truth nor the falsity of either of
them excludes the truth or falsity of the other. Both of them can
be true and both of them can be false. Propositions having the
same subject, predicate and quality but differing in quantity (A &
I, E & O) are subalternates.
1.) If the universal is true, the particular is true; but if the universal is
false, the particular is doubtful.
