Contraposition

the law of traditional logic that holds that if from a certain proposition A there follows the proposition B, then from the negation of the proposition B follows the negation of the proposition A (or in the language of conditional propositions: from the truth of the proposition “If A, then B” follows the truth of the proposition “If not B ?, then not- A”).
