Abstract: The following on-line set of Practice Problems with Categorical Syllogisms can be downloaded below as a .pdf, .doc, or .txt file to work offline before you check the online answers. Part I. Directions: Evaluate the following syllogisms by means of Venn Diagrams and the syllogistic fallacies. Be sure to tell whether the argument is valid or invalid.
Part II. Directions: Set up the following syllogisms in standard form and order, name the mood and figure, and test for validity by means of Venn Diagrams and the syllogistic fallacies.
1. All acts of free will are uncaused events, since all mental decisions are uncaused events and all acts of free will are mental decisions.
2. All acts of free will are uncaused events, so no acts of free will are existent things because no uncaused events are existent things.
Part III. Optional Credit. 1 All events can be described by science, and everything described by science is a caused happening. 2. Free decisions are defined as uncaused happenings, even though to exist they must be caused events. 3. All mental decisions are events and are acts of free will. 4. No uncaused events exist.
