WHAT DOES OBVERSION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Obversion

In traditional logic, obversion is a "type of immediate inference in which from a given proposition another proposition is inferred whose subject is the same as the original subject, whose predicate is the contradictory of the original predicate, and whose quality is affirmative if the original proposition's quality was negative and vice versa". The quality of the inferred categorical proposition is changed but the truth value is equivalent to the original proposition. The immediately inferred proposition is termed the "obverse" of the original proposition, and is a valid form of inference for all types of categorical propositions. In a universal affirmative and a universal negative proposition the subject term and the predicate term are both replaced by their complements: The universal affirmative is obverted to a universal negative. "All S are P" and "No S are non-P" "All cats are animals" and "No cats are non-animals" The universal negative is obverted to a universal affirmative.
