stayModern philosophy、mathematics、logic、languageIn science, proposition (judgment) refers to the semantic meaning (actually expressed concept) of a judgment sentence, which is a phenomenon that can be defined and observed.Proposition does not refer to the sentence itself, but to the semantics expressed.When different sentences have the same meaning, they express the same proposition.In mathematics, people usually judge a thing byDeclarative sentenceIt's called a proposition.[1]

Definition 1
A declarative sentence used to judge whether it is true or false
1. It refers to the theme of the determined poems and articles.
Song DynastyWang Yucheng《Preface to Farewell Bao Xiucai》"Ten chapters of the article were published, which is the work of the Jinshi Bao Sheng. The idea of the proposition is almost extraordinary."
2. Draw up a title;Make questions.
brightWang Ao"Zhenze Changyu Jingzhuan": "The ancients wrote poems, they must set their own questions."
Cao JinghuaFlying Flowers Collection on Prose》"But my guests are neither like the majestic examiners, who set up their compositions without any rules."
clearSun ZhiweiThe preface to the poem "Giving the Dongzhu Rain Today to Li Jiliu, the Chief Executive of Lu'an": "The Chief Executive who got off the bus and tested the ability of the local people to write poems in different topics, Yu Shi, in his brotherhood office, was glad to hear that he sympathized with the local officials and loved the farmers, and he was positive in his various singing patterns. Seeing the proposition, he did not think about the crudity, but encouraged the local people to write two laws."
《Xinhua News Digest》In 1981, Issue 7: "But in terms of ideology and temperament, he is still a prosecutor, so I used the present proposition."
4. Logic terms.Sentences expressing judgment.
Mao Zedong《New Democracy》4: "The Chinese revolution isWorld revolutionThis correct proposition was put forward during the first great revolution in China from 1924 to 1927. "One says that the meaning expressed by the declarative sentence is a proposition, and the determined proposition is a judgment.
5. Mathematical concepts
(1) The concept of proposition in junior high school mathematics is: "sentence to judge a thing";High school textbooks define it as: "sentences that can be used to judge whether they are true or false"
(2) Generally, in mathematics, we call declarative sentences that can be expressed in language, symbol or formula and can judge whether they are true or falseproposition。The statement judged as true is calledTrue propositionThe statement that is judged to be false is calledFalse proposition。

Propositional classification
Aristotle's instrumental theory, especially the《Category》The different forms of propositions and their relationships are studied, and different types of propositions are classified according to different forms.Aristotle first divided propositions into simple and complex categories, but heCompound propositionNo in-depth discussion.He went on toSimple propositionIt can be divided into positive and negative propositions according to quality, and full, specific and indefinite propositions according to quantity.He also mentioned the individual proposition, which is equivalent to the later so-called "taking proper names as the main item and taking universal concepts as thepredicate Monomorphic proposition of.Aristotle emphatically discussed four propositions represented by A, E, I and O.aboutmodalityHe discussed the four propositions of necessity, impossibility, possibility and contingencyModal word。Aristotle's mode refers to the inevitabilitypossibilityEtc.
Logicians after Aristotle, such asTheofrasdo、Magala SchoolandStoic schoolThe logicians in the Middle Ages and the logicians in the Middle Ages also made continuous discussions on the compound propositions containing the propositional connectives "or", "and", "if, then", etc., thus enriching the theory of logic on propositions.
Kantian classification
Kant According to his category theory, he classified judgments, which had a great impact on later generations.Kant's classification of judgment mainly includes four aspects:
① Quantity, including full name, special name and single name;
② Qualities, including affirmation, negation and infinity (all S is or is not P);
③ Relations include straightforward (the relationship between two concepts), hypothetical (the relationship between two judgments), disjunctive (the relationship between several judgments) judgments;
④modalityThere are several kinds of judgments: contingent, factual and conclusive.Kant's mode refers to the degree of cognition.He believes that the judgments that constitute hypothetical judgments and disjunctive judgments are all contingent.
Traditional logic classification
In the second half of the 19th century, the classification of propositions in European logic books was different.Generally speaking, according to relation is according to propositionpredicate The relationship betweenStraightforward proposition、Hypothetical proposition(The relation between the subject and predicate of the latter is conditional on the former) andDisjunctive proposition(Pairs between predicatesMain itemThere is a selective relationship).From the perspective of quality, there are positive propositions and negative propositions.From the perspective of quantity, there are universal propositions, including simple propositions, universal propositions (where S is P) andSpecial proposition。When discussing disjunctive propositions, these traditional logic books also often discussDisjunctive proposition, separation proposition (not A and not B), etc.In addition, there is also a kind of analytic proposition that is often mentioned.In this kind of proposition, there is a distinction proposition, whose form is "only S is P";Another is called exception proposition, which is in the form of "every S is P except S which is M".
Formal analysis

edit
The analysis of propositional form by modern logic has nothing to do with the specific content of propositions as premise and conclusion, because the validity of reasoning is only related to the form of premise and conclusion.Therefore, in classical binary logic, propositions can only be seen as true (recorded as T) and false (recorded as F), and they are collectively called true values.
Further analysis of the form of propositions should go deep intosimpleThe non propositional component within a proposition.In modern logic, a proposition like "Socrates is a man" is considered to be the simplest proposition.If s represents "Socrates" and M represents "man", such propositions can be recorded as M (s), which means that an individual s has natureR。In general, the simplest proposition isF(x) , readable asField of discourseIndividual x in has propertiesF;More complex forms can be filledG(x, y), which can be read as the relationship between individuals x, y) in the universeG。Here, x, y),... are called individual variables;F,G,...Is called predicate variable, andFIt's one yuan,GIt's binary.The form of general full name proposition is wind x(Fx→Gx)The form of existential proposition, that is, the so-called special proposition of traditional logic, is ヨ x(Fx∧Gx)。All these are the preliminary analysis of propositional form by classical first-order predicate logic in modern logic (seePredicate logic)。In addition, adding quantifiers to predicate variables formsHigher-order logic。Modal words can also be introduced, or interrogative sentences, imperative sentences, etc. can be analyzed to establish relevant logic theories.[2]
Form of proposition
Announce
edit
1. For two propositions, if the condition andconclusionThey are the conclusions and conditions of the other proposition, so these two propositions are calledReciprocal proposition, one of which is calledoriginal propositionAnother proposition is called original propositionInverse proposition。
2. For two propositions, if the condition and conclusion of one proposition are respectively the negation of the condition and conclusion of the other proposition, then these two propositions are calledReciprocal propositionOne of them is called the original proposition, and the other is called the original propositionNegative proposition。
3. For two propositions, if the condition and conclusion of one proposition are respectively the negation of the conclusion and the negation of the condition of the other proposition, then these two propositions are called mutually negative propositions, one of which is called the original proposition, and the other is called the original propositionInverse negative proposition。
interrelation

edit
1. The interrelationship of the four propositions: the original proposition and the inverse proposition are mutually inverse, the negative proposition and the original proposition are mutually inverse, the original proposition and the inverse negative proposition are mutually inverse, the inverse proposition and the negative proposition are mutually inverse, the inverse proposition and the inverse negative proposition are mutually inverse, and the inverse negative proposition and the negative proposition are mutually inverse.[3]
2. The relationship between the truth and falsehood of four propositions: (1) Two propositions are mutually negative propositions, and they have the same truth and falsehood.(2) The two propositions are reciprocal propositions or reciprocal negative propositions, and their truth and falseness are not related (the original proposition and the inverse negative proposition are true and false, and the inverse proposition and the negative proposition are true and false)
2. In the proposition of "if p, then q" form, p is called the condition of the proposition, and q is called the conclusion of the proposition.
3. Classification of propositions:
① Original proposition: a proposition itself is called the original proposition. For example, if x>1, f (x)=(x-1) ^ 2 increases monotonically.
②Inverse proposition: a new proposition that inverts the conditions and conclusions of the original proposition, for example, if f (x)=(x-1) ^ 2 monotonically increases, then x>1.
③Negative proposition: Combine the conditions of the original proposition withconclusionA new proposition that is completely negative, but does not change the order of conditions and conclusions. For example, if x<=1, then f (x)=(x-1) ^ 2 does not increase monotonically.
④Inverse negative proposition: a new proposition that inverts the conditions and conclusions of the original proposition, and then negates the conditions and conclusions. For example, if f (x)=(x-1) ^ 2 does not increase monotonically, then x<=1.
The negation of a proposition is a new proposition that only negates the conclusion of the proposition, which is different from the negation proposition.

Sufficient and necessary conditions
1. "If p, then q" is a true proposition, which is called deriving q from p, recorded as p=>q, and said that p is a sufficient condition for q, and q is a necessary condition for p.
2. "If p, then q" is a false proposition, which is called that q cannot be inferred from p, and is recorded as p ≠>q, and that p is not a sufficient condition for q (or p is a non sufficient condition for q), and q is not a necessary condition for p (or q is an unnecessary condition for p).
1. Combining p and q with the conjunction "and" is called a new proposition, which is recorded as p ∧ q and pronounced as "p and q".
2. Determination of the truth and falseness of proposition p ∧ q:
When both propositions p and q areTrue propositionThe new proposition p and q are true propositions.If one of the two propositions p and q isFalse propositionThe new proposition p and q are false propositions.[2]
or
1. Combining p and q with the conjunction "or" is called a new proposition, which is recorded as p ν q and pronounced as "p or q".
2. Determination of the truth and falseness of proposition p ν q:
When one of the two propositions p and q is true, the new proposition p or q formed is true.When two propositions p and q are false propositions, the new propositions p or q formed are false propositions.
wrong
1. For a proposition p, if only its conclusion is negated, a new proposition will be obtained, which will be recorded as "p" and read as "non p".
2. Judgment of proposition p:
In the proposition and his non proposition, there is one and only one isTrue proposition。
