A proposition which arises from interchanging
the terms of another, as by putting the predicate for the
subject, and the subject for the predicate; as, no virtue is
vice, no vice is virtue.
A proposition in which,
after a conclusion from something supposed has been drawn, the
order is inverted, making the conclusion the supposition or
premises, what was first supposed becoming now the conclusion or
inference. Thus, if two sides of a sides of a triangle are equal,
the angles opposite the sides are equal; and the converse
is true, i.e., if these angles are equal, the two sides
are equal.
