What is a Syllogism?

A syllogism is a type of logical argument that uses deductive reasoning to arrive at a conclusion based on two or more premises. It consists of a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion.

Major & Minor Premise

In syllogisms, the major premise establishes a general relationship between two categories, while the minor premise specifies a specific instance that falls under one of those categories. The conclusion then logically follows from the combination of the major and minor premises.

Valid Syllogism

A valid syllogism is one where the conclusion follows logically from the premises. This doesn't mean the premises are true, but that if the premises were true, the conclusion must also be true.

Invalid Syllogism

An invalid syllogism is one where the conclusion does not follow logically from the premises. This means even if the premises were true, the conclusion might not be true.
