LessonsThe Second Figure: Conditions of Validity and Four Productive MoodsQuiz

كل ج ب، ولا شيء من ب أ
All C are B, and no B is A.

The book illustrates the first productive mood with an affirmative universal minor and a negative universal major. The conclusion is “No C is A.”

The minor includes every C in B, while the major excludes A from B, so no C can be A. B is the shared predicate in the original premises. Converting the universal negative major then supplies a first-figure proof.
