Create four categorical propositions, having different letter names, about your favorite food, and identify their quality, quantity, and distributed terms.

Categorical Propositions Examples

1. All chocolate types are delicious.

2. Some chocolates are not good for your health.

3. Some chocolates are good for your health.

4. No chocolates is disgusting.

Explanation:

Categorical proposition is defined as any proposition that can be interpreted as asserting a relation of inclusion or exclusion, complete or partial, between two classes.

The quality of a categorical proposition determines whether the proposition is considered either affirmative or negative in quality (or whether the asserted class is one of inclusion or exclusion).

The quantity of a categorical proposition determines whether the proposition is considered either universal or particular in quantity (i.e whether it refers to all members of its class or not).

The distribution of a categorical proposition refers to if the term is used refer to each and every member of a class (distributed), or if the term is not being used to refer to each and every member of a class (undistributed).

Therefore, for the given examples:

1. All chocolate types are delicious

Quantity: (all) universal

Quality: (are) affirmative, inclusive

Distribution: distributed, refers to all members of the class (chocolates)

2. Some chocolates are not good for your health.

Quantity: (some) particular

Quality: (are not) negative, exclusive

Distribution: undistributed, refers to only some and not all members of the class (chocolates)

3. Some chocolates are good for your health.

Quantity: (some) particular

Quality: (are) affirmative, inclusive

Distribution: undistributed, refers to only some, not all members of the class (chocolates)

4. No chocolate is disgusting.

Quantity: (no) universal

Quality: (no) negative, inclusive

Distribution: distributed, refers to all members of the class (chocolate).
