To Make It Easier

What is a Categorical Claim?

Categorical claims have some indicating words such as:

All, some, none, every, most, only.

All = every single one (no exceptions)

Some = at least one

Every = All = every single one (no exceptions)

None = not a single one

Most = at least one

Only = there is nothing else that is included in the category

Categorical claims essentially perform the task of telling how one type of thing or action relates to another. Expressing thoughts in a standard categorical claim is an important in showing the relationship between the things or actions named in the claim. A categorical claim always refers to two parts: The subject (S) and the predicate (P). Categorical claims either prove or deny that one class (S) is partly or completely included in another class (P).
