Aristotle:
A proposition (protasis), then, is a sentence affirming or denying something of something; and this is either universal or particular or indefinite.
By universal I mean a statement that something belongs to all or none of
something; by particular that it belongs to some or not to some or not to
all; by indefinite that it does or does not belong, without any mark of being
universal or particular, e.g. ‘contraries are subjects of the same science’,
or ‘pleasure is not good’. (Prior Analytics I, 1, 24a16–21.)
