Hypothetical syllogism

In classical logic, a hypothetical syllogism is a valid argument form, a syllogism with a conditional statement for one or both of its premises. An example in English: If I do not wake up, then I cannot go to work.If I cannot go to work, then I will not get paid.Therefore, if I do not wake up, then I will not get paid. The term originated with Theophrastus. (Wikipedia).

Mood and Figure of Standard Categorical Syllogisms // Lessons 21 and 22 [INTRODUCTORY LOGIC]

Standard categorical syllogisms can be grouped together by two characteristics called mood and figure. Given a mood and figure, we should be able to build a schema (think, skeleton) of the syllogism, and eventually, tell whether it is valid or invalid. The mood of the syllogism has to do w

Aristotle's syllogisms revisited with the Algebra of Boole | MathFoundations 280 | N J Wildberger

We have another look at the syllogisms of Aristotle, now from the Algebra of Boole point of view. Two of his logical forms are quite different from the other two, and by restating the sylllogisms using modern Propositional Logic we can then convert exactly four of them into the Algebra of

Testing Syllogisms by Counterexample // Lesson 24 [INTRODUCTORY LOGIC]

Although it can feel like there are infinitely many kinds of categorical syllogisms, in fact there are only 256, and of those, only 40 are valid. So how can we confirm which ones are valid and which ones are invalid, especially if we're not already familiar with the terms of the argument?

Replacing truth tables and Boolean equivalences | MathFoundations274 | N J Wildberger

While Propositional Logic is a branch of philosophy, concerned with systematizing reasoning using connectives such as AND, OR, NOT, IMPLIES and EQUIVALENT, the Algebra of Boole provides a mathematical framework for modelling some of this. With this approach we ignore the issue of the mean

Logic: The Structure of Reason

As a tool for characterizing rational thought, logic cuts across many philosophical disciplines and lies at the core of mathematics and computer science. Drawing on Aristotle’s Organon, Russell’s Principia Mathematica, and other central works, this program tracks the evolution of logic, be

Truth and Validity // Lesson 23 [INTRODUCTORY LOGIC]

The fact that truth and validity are different (though related) concepts is one of the most difficult ideas for logic students to grasp. A valid syllogism can contain false statements. And true statements can often be found in invalid syllogisms. But the two concepts are neither necessary
