    SYLLOGISM

    Uploaded by

    Karl Justeen David
    Syllogism is a form of deductive reasoning that uses two premises and a conclusion. There are different types of syllogisms including conditional and disjunctive syllogisms. Conditional syllogisms have an if-then major premise while disjunctive syllogisms use an either/or major premise. Inductive reasoning produces probable conclusions rather than certain ones like deductive reasoning if the premises are correct. There are also rules for the different types of syllogisms regarding how the premises and conclusions relate.

    SYLLOGISM MAJOR PREMISE - predicate of the conclusion

    - deductive reasoning MINOR PREMISE - subject of the conclusion

    Argumentation COMPOUND SYLLOGISM

    - process of reasoning - major premise is a compound proposition while


    its minor premise is a simple proposition
    - requires two propositions (premises) and a
    conclusion deduced from those two conclusions COMPOUND SYLLOGISMS can be:

    -A false conclusion cannot flow from true (1) Conditional syllogism (major premise is a
    antecedents condition; if-then); joined together

    -But a true consequent may follow false (2) Disjunctive syllogism (major premise is
    antecedents (accidental truth) disjunctive; either/or); they’re disconnected

    The inductive method is less perfect than deductive


    method because it produces an abstraction that’s
    probable unlike deductive when the premises are RULES FOR CONDITIONAL SYLLOGISM:
    correct, naturally produces certain conclusions -when minor affirms condition; conclusion must
    RULES OF SYLLOGISM affirm consequent

    (1) A syllogism must only have three terms -when minor affirms consequent; no conclusion
    follows
    - Each term must have the same meaning each time
    it’s used

    - Different meanings for the same term (fallacy of 4 -when minor denies condition; no conclusion
    terms) follows

    (2) Any term distributed in the conclusion must be -when minor denies consequent; conclusion must
    distributed in the premises deny condition

    (3) Middle term must be distributed RULES FOR DISJUNCTIVE SYLLOGISM:

    (4) Two negative premises = no conclusion - when minor affirms one member; conclusion
    must deny other member
    (5) Conclusion must follow the weaker part
    (particular/negative) - when minor denies one member; conclusion must
    affirm other member
    (6) Two particular premises = no valid conclusion
    Sorites
    Abstraction
    - fancy name for a series of syllogisms stated in a
    - formulating a more general statement by series of propositions linked together so that the
    eliminating more and more facts; will eventually predicate of each one that precedes forms the
    result to making the statement so vague subject of each that follows until the conclusion is
    formed by bringing together the subject of the first
    Abbreviated syllogism (enthymeme) proposition and the predicate of the last
    - one of the premises is missing proposition

    - the habit of leaving things out can lead to


    miscommunication, misunderstanding, or other
    forms of ambiguity or confusion
