Every and All

The fallacy of every and all turns on errors due to the order or scope of the quantifiers "every" and "all" and "any." This is a version of the scope fallacy.

Example:

Every action of ours has some final end. So, there is some common final end to all our actions.

In proposing this fallacious argument, Aristotle believed the common end is the supreme good, so he had a rather optimistic outlook on the direction of history.
