2 Categorical Propositions A P : All is P (universal affirmative) E P : No is P (universal negative) I P : ome is P (particular affirmative) O P : ome is not P (particular negative)
3 yllogisms A syllogism is a rule of inference P 1,P 2 C where P 1, P 2 and C are categorical propositions.
4 yllogisms A syllogism is a rule of inference P 1,P 2 C where P 1, P 2 and C are categorical propositions. More precisely, in a syllogism appear exactly three terms, P and M as follows: - M must appear in both P 1 and P 2 but is not allowed to appear in C. - must appear in both P 2 and C, as the subject of the latter. - P must appear in both P 1 and C, as the predicate of the latter.

More precisely, in a syllogism appear exactly three terms, P and M as follows: - M must appear in both P 1 and P 2 but is not allowed to appear in C. - must appear in both P 2 and C, as the subject of the latter. - P must appear in both P 1 and C, as the predicate of the latter. Example: O PM,E M I P

36 The rules of syllogism - From two negative premisses nothing can be inferred. - From two particular premisses nothing can be inferred. - From a particular first premise and a negative second premise nothing can be inferred. - If one premise is particular, then the conclusion is such. - The conclusion of a syllogism is negative if and only if so is one of its premisses.
