“Rules of Science [of Logic] 2,” 1875, woodcut by Alfred James Swinbourne [1] The study of categorical propositions reveals how inferences can be made conclusively. If the form of an argument is valid and the premises are true, the conclusion follows with absolute certainty. Take some care with the logical relations called contrariety and subcontraiety. For some persons, these inferences are initially counterintuitive. Understanding the topics for ordinary language inferences and Venn Diagrams for Proposition will prove essential for working with the logic of syllogistic arguments later in the course. Notes1.
