    Contraposition is a logical operation that involves first obverting a proposition and then converting it. There are two types of contraposition: simple contraposition, which involves one obversion and one conversion, and complete contraposition, which involves one obversion, one conversion, and another obversion. The document provides examples of applying the rules of simple and complete contraposition to categorical propositions involving quantifiers like all, some, and no.
