Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johannis Wyclif Tractatus De Logica, Vol. 2 This classification is to some' extent arbitrary, it is true, but founded on the nature of things. It is not denied that these propositions might'be set in another order, or deduced from the primordial truths in another way; but the order given here is the best, because it corres ponds best to the order of the universe (p. 3, 1. 35 to end; p. 4, 1. 1 The words and, if, etc., are neither sufficient to establish the order here given, nor to classify the propositions (p. 4, 1. 5 If it be objected that many hypothetical propositions are false, and that consequently truth, and particularly primordial truth, has nothing to do with their classification (p. 2, 1. 20 Wyclif points out that every proposition must be true at least in a transcendental sense. If it means something false, it means a thing that is not, and therefore is true negatively (pp. 4, His classification depends properly, not only on those Signs which render the propositions hypothetical, nor on the truth or falsity of the latter, but upon the peculiar sense given by those words to the propositions which they unite into one whole (p. 6, l. 30 to end).
