Arabic original, Mutūn al-manṭiq wa-l-ḥikma: Īsāghūjī wa-l-Sullam al-munawraq, Jakarta 1434/2013

الْكُلُّ حُكْمُنَا عَلَى الْمَجْمُوعِكَكُلُّ ذَاكَ لَيْسَ ذَا وُقُوعِ

وَحَيْثُمَا لِكُلِّ فَرْدٍ حُكِمَافَإِنَّهُ كُلِّيَّةٌ قَدْ عُلِمَا

وَالْحُكْمُ لِلْبَعْضِ هُوَ الْجُزْئِيَّهْوَالْجُزْءُ مَعْرِفَتُهُ جَلِيَّهْ

The whole is our judgement on the totality, as in “all of that did not happen”; and wherever a judgement is made on each individual, it is a universal judgement, as is known. A judgement on some is the particular one, and the part is plain to know.

The lesson

The Sullam separates four words that beginners confuse. A judgement on the whole (kull) is on the group taken together: “all the people of the town lift the rock” — together, not each one. A judgement (kulliyya) is on each individual: “every man is mortal”. The poem's example of the whole is “all of that did not happen”, a judgement on the set as a set.

A judgement (juzʾiyya) is on some: “some men are writers”. And the part (juzʾ), as the poem says, is plain: a piece of a whole, as the roof is of the house. Only the and the particular judgement are used in syllogisms; a judgement on a whole as a whole does not pass to each of its members.
