Note 106 — Chapter II
Reading edition
An infinite judgment, in the sense in which the term is here used, may be described as the affirmative predication of a negative. Some writers, however, include under propositiones infinitae those whose subject, as well as those whose predicate, is negative. Thus Father Clarke defines propositiones infinitae as propositions in which “the subject or predicate is indefinite in extent, being limited only in its exclusion from some definite class or idea: as, Not to advance is to recede” (Logic, p. 268).
