The inconsistency of the square of opposition thus

with only three categorical standard form propositions. The inconsistency of the square of
opposition thus appears. When a true argument is at the bottom of the chart, while a false
statement is at the top of the chart, therefore only the actual meaning of the contradictory claim is
specified. The remaining three claims remain unclear. Although we use the square of opposition,
we can not completely decide whether a claim can be true or false at times. The square of
opposition has certain restrictions, and this reasoning can not function under certain conditions.

In conclusion, defying arguments in categorical logic and square of opposition are helpful.
With categorical logic we are able to learn and define the various types of relations and groups
between these categories: A, E, I, O. When using the square of opposition, which is a diagram
that allows us to decide whether a proposition is true, false, or undetermined. (Parsons, 2017). In
fact, when evaluating a patient conditions, they are critical in the nursing profession. For
example, if a patient states he is allergic to all products with peanuts, we could not presume that
he is not allergic to some products containing peanuts, since he means ALL. Therefore, we must
keep a closer eye on his diets. If we learn how to assert and refute claims based on categorical
logic and square of opposition, as critical thinkers and future nurses, we know what is the right
approach and can take appropriate measures for our patients.
