title = "The Representation of Negative Terms with Euler Diagrams",
abstract = "In the common use of logic diagrams, the positive term is conveniently located inside the circle while its negative counterpart is left outside. This practice, already found in Euler{\textquoteright}s original scheme, leads to trouble when one wishes to express the non-existence of the outer region or to tackle logic problems involving negative terms. In this chapter, we discuss various techniques introduced by Euler{\textquoteright}s followers to overcome this difficulty: some logicians modified the data of the problem at hand, others amended the diagrams, and another group changed the mode of representation. We also consider how modern diagrammatic systems represent negation.",
