Aristotle, On Interpretation - Universal and Particular Propositions - Sadler's Lectures

April 30, 2026·10 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, On Interpretation, focusing on his discussion of universal and particular propositions. Universal (katholou) propositions will generally be indicated by terms like "all", "every" or "no" applied to the subject, and refer to an entire group or class of things. Particular propositions (kath' hekaston) apply to at least one individual subject, but could also be framed to include more. Aristotle does also note that not all propositions are universal or particular, since some of them could be indefinite.
