Syllogism is a form of logical reasoning that uses deductive reasoning to arrive at a conclusion based on two premises. It consists of three parts: a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion. The structure of a syllogism allows for the deduction of a conclusion that logically follows from the premises. Here’s a classic example of a syllogism: 1. Major Premise: All humans are mortal. 2. Minor Premise: Socrates is a human.
