Below you are given a statement, its truth value in parentheses, and an operation/relation to be performed on that statement. Identify the new statement and the truth value of the new statement. Assume that 'A' and 'B' denote things that actually exist and take the Aristotelian standpoint.

All non-A are B. (T)
Contraposition

a. All A are non-B. (T)?
b. All non-B are A. (T)
c. All non-B are A. (Und.)
d. All A are non-B. (Und.)
e. All B are non-A. (Und.)

anybody?

I agree with your answser, a. But I'm not really positive. Since there was no personal gain on my part I didn't put much thought into it. :)

It is most likely A. Since A from my point of view is essentially the reverse of the intended question. And when you use same as, it's like saying =. The only constant is (T).

E is rewording your question but you get undefined.

As for X42, he was online a few days ago, but he didn't say hi.

Never did this sort of logic, I'm afraid. I never did a philosophical slant on logic - only things like first-order logic and reasoning about programs, along with a tiny bit of modal/temporal logic and types with logic (i.e. Curry-Howard isomorphism).

Didn't see you, Chris - I was talking to my parents.

Oh. No problem.

But I think Gimmi solved his own equation, but I took it from a = perspective.
