Encyclopedia > Affirmative conclusion from a negative premise

Affirmative conclusion from a negative premise is a logical fallacy that is committed when a categorical syllogism has a positive conclusion, but one or two negative premises.


For example:

No fish are mammals, and no mammals can fly, therefore all fish can fly.

Propositional logic (1386 words)
A Universal affirmative proposition is about two classes and the entire first class (in this case, the class of all politicians) is affirmed to be included in the second class (the class of all men): every member of the first class is also a member of the second class.
A particular affirmative proposition does not affirm or deny that all members of the first class are included in the second class; also, it does not imply that “some S are not P”.
Thus the subject of a universal affirmative proposition is distributed and the predicate of a universal affirmative (A) proposition is not distributed.
