Syllogism

Syllogism is the premise form of "some of A belong to B", where "some of A" is separate from "belong to B"

ex.) Major Premise: All football players are stupid

Minor premise: jordan is a football player

conclusion: jordan is stupid

The idea of syllogism deals with the mathematic idea of "Deductive Logic"

-A is B

-B is C

-Therefore A must be C

Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens are other forms of Syllogisms.

Modus Ponens is the idea that if 1 then 2, 1 really is two, therefore we are 2

Modus Tollens is the idea that if 1 then 2, 1 isn't, therefore we are not 2
