1 I, 1 | a premiss, a term, and a syllogism, and the nature of a perfect 2 I, 1 | perfect and of an imperfect syllogism; and after that, the inclusion 3 I, 1 | difference to the production of a syllogism in either case; for both 4 I, 1 | removed, or vice versa.~A syllogism is discourse in which, certain 5 I, 1 | necessary.~I call that a perfect syllogism which needs nothing other 6 I, 1 | what necessarily follows; a syllogism is imperfect, if it needs 7 I, 4 | means, when, and how every syllogism is produced; subsequently 8 I, 4 | speak of demonstration. Syllogism should be discussed before 9 I, 4 | before demonstration because syllogism is the general: the demonstration 10 I, 4 | demonstration is a sort of syllogism, but not every syllogism 11 I, 4 | syllogism, but not every syllogism is a demonstration.~Whenever 12 I, 4 | be related by a perfect syllogism. I call that term middle 13 I, 4 | last term, there will be no syllogism in respect of the extremes; 14 I, 4 | consequence, there cannot be a syllogism by means of these premisses. 15 I, 4 | man, stone. Nor again can syllogism be formed when neither the 16 I, 4 | clear in this figure when a syllogism will be possible and when 17 I, 4 | when not, and that if a syllogism is possible the terms must 18 I, 4 | related there will be a syllogism.~But if one term is related 19 I, 4 | there must be a perfect syllogism whenever universality is 20 I, 4 | related in any other way, a syllogism is impossible. I call that 21 I, 4 | there will be a perfect syllogism. This holds good also if 22 I, 4 | for we shall have the same syllogism whether the premiss is indefinite 23 I, 4 | affirmatively or negatively, a syllogism will not be possible, whether 24 I, 4 | is A, there cannot be a syllogism. Take the terms white, horse, 25 I, 4 | particular, can there be a syllogism, whether the minor premiss 26 I, 4 | Consequently there cannot be a syllogism. Again let no B be A, but 27 I, 4 | such that no C is B, no syllogism follows (this has already 28 I, 4 | terms will not afford a syllogism: otherwise one would have 29 I, 4 | can there in any way be a syllogism if both the relations of 30 I, 4 | said that if there is a syllogism in this figure with a particular 31 I, 4 | are related otherwise, no syllogism is possible anyhow. It is 32 I, 5 | is first in position. A syllogism cannot be perfect anyhow 33 I, 5 | are related universally a syllogism will be possible, whenever 34 I, 5 | Thus it will be the same syllogism that proves both conclusions.~ 35 I, 5 | It is clear then that a syllogism is formed when the terms 36 I, 5 | related, but not a perfect syllogism; for necessity is not perfectly 37 I, 5 | and O, there cannot be a syllogism. Terms to illustrate a positive 38 I, 5 | the middle term.~Nor is a syllogism possible when M is predicated 39 I, 5 | is clear then that if a syllogism is formed when the terms 40 I, 5 | extremes, a particular negative syllogism must result whenever the 41 I, 5 | all N, there will be no syllogism. Take the terms animal, 42 I, 5 | particular, we have stated when a syllogism will be possible and when 43 I, 5 | negative or both affirmative, a syllogism will not be possible anyhow. 44 I, 5 | if it belongs to no O a syllogism is (as we have seen) not 45 I, 5 | the other particular, a syllogism can, not be formed anyhow. 46 I, 5 | another in the way stated, a syllogism results of necessity; and 47 I, 5 | necessity; and if there is a syllogism, the terms must be so related. 48 I, 6 | and is last in position. A syllogism cannot be perfect in this 49 I, 6 | belong to some R: for a syllogism in the first figure is produced. 50 I, 6 | to no S, there will be a syllogism to prove that P will necessarily 51 I, 6 | all S, there will be no syllogism. Terms for the positive 52 I, 6 | man.~Nor can there be a syllogism when both terms are asserted 53 I, 6 | this figure also when a syllogism will be possible and when 54 I, 6 | affirmative, there will be a syllogism to prove that one extreme 55 I, 6 | when they are negative, no syllogism will be possible. But when 56 I, 6 | affirmative, there will be a syllogism to prove that the one extreme 57 I, 6 | relation is reversed, no syllogism will be possible. If one 58 I, 6 | affirmative there must be a syllogism, no matter which of the 59 I, 6 | affirmative is universal, a syllogism will be possible whenever 60 I, 6 | major is affirmative, no syllogism will be possible, e.g. if 61 I, 6 | if R belongs to no S, no syllogism is possible, as has been 62 I, 6 | been shown. Clearly then no syllogism will be possible here.~But 63 I, 6 | affirmative there will be a syllogism. For if P belongs to no 64 I, 6 | negative, there will be no syllogism. Terms for the positive 65 I, 6 | the term wild.~Nor is a syllogism possible when both are stated 66 I, 6 | particular statement.~Nor is a syllogism possible anyhow, if each 67 I, 6 | this figure also when a syllogism will be possible, and when 68 I, 6 | the terms are as stated, a syllogism results of necessity, and 69 I, 6 | necessity, and if there is a syllogism, the terms must be so related. 70 I, 7 | figures, whenever a proper syllogism does not result, if both 71 I, 7 | is stated universally, a syllogism always results relating 72 I, 7 | in the other figures: a syllogism always results by means 73 I, 7 | affirmative will effect the same syllogism in all the figures.~It is 74 I, 7 | the false statement the syllogism comes about by means of 75 I, 8 | differently related terms, one syllogism concluding from what is 76 I, 8 | belong) to something else, a syllogism will or will not result 77 I, 8 | not belong, to make the syllogism in reference to this: with 78 I, 9 | B. Similarly also if the syllogism should be negative: for 79 I, 13| Science and demonstrative syllogism are not concerned with things 80 I, 13| moods and nature of the syllogism made from possible premisses. 81 I, 13| and characteristics of the syllogism which arises if B is possible 82 I, 14| there will be a perfect syllogism to prove that A may possibly 83 I, 14| to no C, then indeed no syllogism results from the premisses 84 I, 14| problematic propositions, the same syllogism results as before. For since 85 I, 14| possible for all B, the same syllogism again results. Similarly 86 I, 14| B to none of the Cs. No syllogism results from the assumed 87 I, 14| converted we shall have the same syllogism as before. It is clear then 88 I, 14| are negative, either no syllogism results, or if one it is 89 I, 14| there will be a perfect syllogism. For if A is possible for 90 I, 14| to some C, then a clear syllogism does not result from the 91 I, 14| particular, in no way will a syllogism be possible. For nothing 92 I, 14| related in this manner, no syllogism results. For every syllogism 93 I, 14| syllogism results. For every syllogism proves that something belongs 94 I, 14| Consequently there cannot be a syllogism to prove the possibility; 95 I, 14| in possible premisses a syllogism always results in the first 96 I, 14| negative, only a perfect syllogism results in the first case, 97 I, 15| all C also. So a perfect syllogism results. Likewise if the 98 I, 15| simple attribution, a perfect syllogism results proving that A possibly 99 I, 15| stated to be that of the syllogism. For if C is predicated 100 I, 15| possible for all B: for a syllogism is formed in the third degree. 101 I, 15| moment, there cannot be a syllogism. For nothing perhaps prevents " 102 I, 15| to some B: for we have a syllogism in the third figure: but 103 I, 15| an impossible one. This syllogism then does not establish 104 I, 15| belongs to some C, but the syllogism per impossibile establishes 105 I, 15| premisses taken there can be no syllogism, but if the problematic 106 I, 15| premiss is converted, a syllogism will be possible, as before. 107 I, 15| is possible for all C, a syllogism results as before: for the 108 I, 15| converted, we shall have a syllogism. Suppose that A belongs 109 I, 15| shall again have the same syllogism. But if it be assumed that 110 I, 15| belonging, there cannot be a syllogism anyhow, whether the premiss 111 I, 15| premiss is problematic a syllogism always results, only sometimes 112 I, 15| there will be a perfect syllogism, just as when the terms 113 I, 15| there will be an imperfect syllogism. Only some of them will 114 I, 15| been shown above. And a syllogism will be possible by means 115 I, 15| respect of possibility, a syllogism results. But whenever the 116 I, 15| negative, there cannot be a syllogism. As instances of the positive 117 I, 15| or assertoric, nohow is a syllogism possible. Nor is a syllogism 118 I, 15| syllogism possible. Nor is a syllogism possible when the premisses 119 I, 15| premiss is universal, a syllogism always results, but if the 120 I, 16| problematic, there will be a syllogism when the terms are related 121 I, 16| as before; and a perfect syllogism when the minor premiss is 122 I, 16| shall have an imperfect syllogism to prove that A may belong 123 I, 16| C. We shall then have a syllogism to prove that A may belong 124 I, 16| necessarily belong to all C. The syllogism will be perfect, but it 125 I, 16| when it is problematic a syllogism is possible by conversion, 126 I, 16| when it is necessary no syllogism can be formed. Nor again 127 I, 16| affirmative in the negative syllogism, e.g. BC the minor premiss, 128 I, 16| proposition in the affirmative syllogism, e.g. AB the major premiss, 129 I, 16| necessary, there cannot be a syllogism. Premisses of this kind 130 I, 16| relation. Nor again is a syllogism possible when the premisses 131 I, 16| from what has been said a syllogism results or not from similar 132 I, 17| premisses are problematic, no syllogism is possible, whether the 133 I, 17| affirmative is assertoric no syllogism is possible, but if the 134 I, 17| results: consequently no syllogism. It is clear from what has 135 I, 17| By means of conversion no syllogism will result: for the major 136 I, 17| In general, if there is a syllogism, it is clear that its conclusion 137 I, 17| different from the possible. No syllogism then results. A similar 138 I, 17| premisses are problematic, no syllogism results.~ 139 I, 18| negative problematic no syllogism will be possible, whether 140 I, 18| assertoric, we shall have a syllogism. Suppose A belongs to no 141 I, 18| can belong to all C: so a syllogism is made, proving by means 142 I, 18| complementary affirmative a syllogism is formed to prove that 143 I, 18| premisses are affirmative, no syllogism will be possible. This arrangement 144 I, 18| universal or particular, no syllogism is possible (this is proved 145 I, 18| the actual premisses, a syllogism can be obtained by converting 146 I, 18| assertoric, but particular, no syllogism is possible, whether the 147 I, 19| arranged in this way, no syllogism is possible. For (1) it 148 I, 19| established: consequently no syllogism is possible. A similar proof 149 I, 19| when they are negative a syllogism can always be formed by 150 I, 19| affirmative there cannot be a syllogism. Clearly the conclusion 151 I, 19| does not belong to C. A syllogism then is not possible at 152 I, 19| universal and necessary, a syllogism will always be possible 153 I, 19| indefinite or particular, no syllogism can be formed. The same 154 I, 19| premiss is necessary, a syllogism is always possible, proving 155 I, 19| It is clear too that a syllogism is possible or not under 156 I, 20| 20~In the last figure a syllogism is possible whether both 157 I, 20| but if it is negative the syllogism will result in a negative 158 I, 20| affirmatives there will be a syllogism as before. For if A and 159 I, 20| the other particular, a syllogism will be possible, or not, 160 I, 20| indefinite or particular, no syllogism can be formed: for A must 161 I, 21| problematic, not pure; and a syllogism will be possible under the 162 I, 21| if they are converted a syllogism is obtained as before.~If 163 I, 21| indefinite or particular, no syllogism will be possible. The demonstration 164 I, 22| problematic we shall have a syllogism by altering the premiss 165 I, 22| but if it is necessary no syllogism can be formed. For A sometimes 166 I, 22| if it is problematic a syllogism can be formed by means of 167 I, 22| but if it is necessary a syllogism is not possible. The proof 168 I, 22| figure also when and how a syllogism can be formed, and when 169 I, 23| reduced to them. That every syllogism without qualification can 170 I, 23| has been proved that every syllogism is formed through one or 171 I, 23| demonstration and every syllogism should prove either that 172 I, 23| nor anything else of A, no syllogism will be possible. For nothing 173 I, 23| of C, nothing prevents a syllogism being formed, but it will 174 I, 23| being made with B, will a syllogism be possible concerning A 175 I, 23| general we stated that no syllogism can establish the attribution 176 I, 23| of predication. For the syllogism in general is made out of 177 I, 23| out of premisses, and a syllogism referring to this out of 178 I, 23| the same reference, and a syllogism relating this to that proceeds 179 I, 23| predications, if we are to have a syllogism relating this to that. If 180 I, 23| it is clear that every syllogism must be made in one or other 181 I, 23| impossibile by an ostensive syllogism, and the original conclusion 182 I, 23| syllogisms: for in every case the syllogism leads up to the proposition 183 I, 23| demonstration and every syllogism must be formed by means 184 I, 23| shown it is clear that every syllogism is perfected by means of 185 I, 24| 24~Further in every syllogism one of the premisses must 186 I, 24| premisses is universal either a syllogism will not be possible, or 187 I, 24| without adding "all", no syllogism will be possible; if one 188 I, 24| clear then that in every syllogism there must be a universal 189 I, 24| clear also that in every syllogism either both or one of the 190 I, 24| It is clear also when a syllogism in general can be made and 191 I, 24| a valid, when a perfect syllogism can be formed; and that 192 I, 24| be formed; and that if a syllogism is formed the terms must 193 I, 25| if this can be called one syllogism, not many, the same conclusion 194 I, 25| already been proved that if a syllogism is formed some of its terms 195 I, 25| these.~(1) If it is E the syllogism will have A and B for its 196 I, 25| related to D as to make a syllogism, the propositions will have 197 I, 25| for we assumed that the syllogism proved E. And if no conclusion 198 I, 25| assumed to no purpose, and the syllogism does not prove the original 199 I, 25| demonstration and every syllogism will proceed through three 200 I, 25| their main premisses, every syllogism will consist of an even 201 I, 25| relation to one term only, a syllogism will not be constructed. 202 I, 26| The manner in which every syllogism is produced, the number 203 I, 27| follows every man: for the syllogism proceeds through universal 204 I, 27| For the conclusion of each syllogism resembles its principles. 205 I, 27| upon all the terms: for no syllogism can be made out of such 206 I, 28| the other. For sometimes a syllogism in the first figure results, 207 I, 28| figure results, sometimes a syllogism in the second. But if the 208 I, 28| there will be a converted syllogism: for E will belong to all 209 I, 28| all the terms, because no syllogism is produced from them. For ( 210 I, 28| are useless to produce a syllogism, e.g. if the consequents 211 I, 28| belong to either term: for no syllogism is produced by means of 212 I, 28| the middle figure. But no syllogism is possible in this way.~ 213 I, 28| wherever it happens that a syllogism results from taking contraries 214 I, 28| For if these are taken, a syllogism will be formed to prove 215 I, 28| inquiries taken by themselves no syllogism results; but if B and F 216 I, 28| with one of the Hs, and the syllogism results through these terms. 217 I, 29| wishes to use an ostensive syllogism or a reduction to impossibility. 218 I, 29| been proved by an ostensive syllogism that A belongs to no E, 219 I, 29| of inquiry, to which the syllogism establishing the false conclusion 220 I, 29| other remains as it is, the syllogism will be ostensive by means 221 I, 29| terms. For the ostensive syllogism differs from the reductio 222 I, 29| in this: in the ostensive syllogism both remisses are laid down 223 I, 29| wish to use an ostensive syllogism or a reduction to impossibility. 224 I, 29| will be the same, and the syllogism will proceed through terms 225 I, 29| we have proved that the syllogism which establishes a possible 226 I, 29| in any other. For every syllogism has been proved to be formed 227 I, 29| middle term. Consequently a syllogism cannot be formed by means 228 I, 31| is, so to speak, a weak syllogism; for what it ought to prove, 229 I, 31| middle term through which the syllogism is formed must always be 230 I, 32| the two premisses of the syllogism (for it is easier to divide 231 I, 32| premisses of the principal syllogism, but omit those through 232 I, 32| not however been drawn by syllogism from the propositions assumed, 233 I, 32| what is assumed, since the syllogism also is necessary. But that 234 I, 32| necessary is wider than the syllogism: for every syllogism is 235 I, 32| the syllogism: for every syllogism is necessary, but not everything 236 I, 32| which is necessary is a syllogism. Consequently, though something 237 I, 32| course of an argument, a syllogism cannot be made: for a middle 238 I, 33| C: it would seem that a syllogism is possible since the terms 239 I, 33| necessary results, nor does a syllogism. Let A represent the term " 240 I, 33| Aristomenes is perishable. For no syllogism was made although the terms 241 I, 33| unless this is assumed, no syllogism (as we have shown) is possible.~ 242 I, 34| conditions are substituted, no syllogism can be made, e.g. if "healthy" 243 I, 35| search, e.g. the belief that syllogism can establish that which 244 I, 38| mean for example that if a syllogism should be made proving that 245 I, 38| we should not have had a syllogism proving that there is knowledge 246 I, 40| the same way; but if the syllogism is to prove that pleasure 247 I, 41| prove from them, and so no syllogism a is formed. We (I mean 248 I, 41| without the premisses of the syllogism.~ 249 I, 42| forget that in the same syllogism not all conclusions are 250 I, 44| have not been proved by syllogism, but assented to by agreement. 251 I, 44| agreement does not come from a syllogism, but from an hypothesis. 252 I, 44| latter argument perhaps was a syllogism: but the former was an hypothesis.~ 253 I, 44| analysed since it is proved by syllogism, though the rest of the 254 I, 45| established in one figure by syllogism, can be reduced to another 255 I, 45| figure, e.g. a negative syllogism in the first figure can 256 I, 45| reduced to the second, and a syllogism in the middle figure to 257 I, 45| all C. Similarly if the syllogism is not universal but particular, 258 I, 45| convertible.~But if the syllogism is particular, whenever 259 I, 45| conversion, nor would there be a syllogism if it did.~Again syllogisms 260 I, 45| formed. Similarly if the syllogism is negative: for the particular 261 I, 45| belong to some B. If the syllogism is negative, when the terms 262 II, 1 | premisses, when and how a syllogism is formed; further what 263 II, 1 | may be proved by the same syllogism, if the former are placed 264 II, 1 | included in A. Similarly if the syllogism is negative. In the second 265 II, 1 | not clear by means of the syllogism. And yet B does not belong 266 II, 1 | been proved through the syllogism that B belongs to no C, 267 II, 1 | does not result through the syllogism that B does not belong to 268 II, 1 | to the conclusion (for a syllogism does not result when this 269 II, 1 | not however through the syllogism, e.g. if A belongs to all 270 II, 1 | not through the preceding syllogism. Similarly in the other 271 II, 1 | proved, only not through the syllogism, just as in the universal 272 II, 2 | for the premisses of the syllogism to be true, or to be false, 273 II, 2 | is wholly false, a true syllogism will be possible: for nothing 274 II, 3 | for we shall have the same syllogism.~(2) Again if one premiss 275 II, 4 | possible, though no part of the syllogism is true, that the conclusion 276 II, 5 | assumed in the original syllogism: e.g. suppose it has been 277 II, 5 | belongs to B: but in the first syllogism the converse was assumed, 278 II, 5 | conclusion of the first syllogism, and B to belong to A but 279 II, 5 | was assumed in the earlier syllogism, viz. that A belongs to 280 II, 5 | the premisses of the first syllogism can be assumed in the second: 281 II, 5 | premisses from which the syllogism results must be undemonstrated: 282 II, 5 | to all A, we shall have a syllogism relating B to A. Again if 283 II, 5 | other premiss. Further a syllogism cannot be made at all if 284 II, 5 | A is middle. But if the syllogism is negative, it is not possible 285 II, 5 | converted as in the universal syllogism, i.e "B belongs to some 286 II, 5 | not belong": otherwise no syllogism results because the particular 287 II, 6 | both premisses of the new syllogism are not affirmative (for 288 II, 6 | and one premiss, we get no syllogism, but if another premiss 289 II, 6 | is assumed in addition, a syllogism will be possible. But if 290 II, 6 | be possible. But if the syllogism not universal, the universal 291 II, 6 | negative; consequently a syllogism will not be possible. But 292 II, 7 | But if this is assumed the syllogism no longer results from the 293 II, 7 | for in no other way can a syllogism be formed.~It is clear then 294 II, 7 | middle figure, when the syllogism is universal, proof is possible 295 II, 8 | 8~To convert a syllogism means to alter the conclusion 296 II, 8 | conclusion and make another syllogism to prove that either the 297 II, 8 | its contrary. For the same syllogism does not result whichever 298 II, 8 | extreme. Similarly if the syllogism is negative. Suppose it 299 II, 8 | will be particular. Let the syllogism be affirmative, and let 300 II, 8 | all B. Similarly if the syllogism is negative. For if A belongs 301 II, 8 | cannot be affected by a syllogism at all: for if A does not 302 II, 8 | universal. Similarly if the syllogism is negative: for if it should 303 II, 9 | saw) there is no universal syllogism. The other premiss can be 304 II, 9 | conclusion of the first syllogism is converted into its contrary, 305 II, 9 | belong to some C, so that the syllogism results in the contradictory 306 II, 9 | of their quality.~If the syllogism is particular, when the 307 II, 9 | some C and A to some C, no syllogism will be possible: for neither 308 II, 10| but B belongs to all C, no syllogism is formed about A and C. 309 II, 10| belongs to all C, will a syllogism be possible about B and 310 II, 10| extreme. But we found that no syllogism is possible thus either 311 II, 10| Similarly if the original syllogism is negative. Suppose it 312 II, 10| thus that, as we saw, a syllogism could be made. Whenever 313 II, 10| conclusion is assumed a syllogism will not be possible. For 314 II, 10| some B, and B to all C, no syllogism is possible (as we saw) 315 II, 10| some B, and to no C, was a syllogism possible concerning B and 316 II, 10| some B and B to some C, no syllogism results: nor yet if A belongs 317 II, 10| been said it is clear how a syllogism results in each figure when 318 II, 11| in each figure, and what syllogism results. The syllogism per 319 II, 11| what syllogism results. The syllogism per impossibile is proved 320 II, 11| conversion takes place after a syllogism has been formed and both 321 II, 11| not belong to all B, no syllogism results whichever term the 322 II, 11| CA is assumed as well, no syllogism results, nor does it do 323 II, 11| assumed relates to A, no syllogism will be possible. Nor can 324 II, 11| premiss assumed concerns B, no syllogism will be possible. If the 325 II, 11| supposed, we shall have a syllogism and an impossible conclusion, 326 II, 11| concerns B; we shall have a syllogism and a conclusion which is 327 II, 11| for thus also we get a syllogism. But if the negative proposition 328 II, 12| supposed, we shall have a syllogism and a result which is impossible: 329 II, 13| to no B, we shall have a syllogism and a conclusion which is 330 II, 14| premisses from which the syllogism starts, the former takes 331 II, 14| same terms. Whenever the syllogism is formed in the first figure, 332 II, 14| in the last. Whenever the syllogism is formed in the middle 333 II, 14| problem may be. Whenever the syllogism is formed in the last figure, 334 II, 14| and to no B. For thus the syllogism was made and the impossible 335 II, 14| and C to some B. If the syllogism is negative, the hypothesis 336 II, 14| first figure results. If the syllogism is not universal, but proof 337 II, 14| and A to all C. If the syllogism is negative, the hypothesis 338 II, 14| conclusion of the ostensive syllogism is taken as a premiss. For 339 II, 15| In the first figure no syllogism whether affirmative or negative 340 II, 15| premisses: no affirmative syllogism is possible because both 341 II, 15| other negative: no negative syllogism is possible because opposites 342 II, 15| In the middle figure a syllogism can be made both oLcontradictories 343 II, 15| science is supposition. This syllogism differs from the preceding 344 II, 15| third figure an affirmative syllogism can never be made out of 345 II, 15| first figure; but a negative syllogism is possible whether the 346 II, 15| ways and in what figures a syllogism can be made by means of 347 II, 15| premisses are opposed. For the syllogism is always contrary to the 348 II, 15| not an animal because the syllogism springs out of a contradiction 349 II, 15| it is not odd. For the syllogism owed its contrariety to 350 II, 15| be inferred from a single syllogism in such a way that we conclude 351 II, 16| both ways, though, if the syllogism is affirmative, only in 352 II, 16| and first figures. If the syllogism is negative, the question 353 II, 17| cannot be objected that the syllogism does not depend on the assumption 354 II, 17| false cause", when the syllogism is concluded in spite of 355 II, 17| assumption is refuted, a syllogism can no longer be drawn in 356 II, 17| which is false is when a syllogism drawn from middle terms 357 II, 18| false statement in it. Every syllogism is made out of two or more 358 II, 18| for (as we proved) a false syllogism cannot be drawn from two 359 II, 19| order to avoid having a syllogism drawn against us we must 360 II, 19| premisses, since we know that a syllogism cannot be drawn without 361 II, 19| to C, and so on. If the syllogism is drawn through one middle 362 II, 20| 20~Since we know when a syllogism can be formed and how its 363 II, 20| For as has been shown a syllogism is possible whether the 364 II, 20| place: for a refutation is a syllogism which establishes the contradictory. 365 II, 20| refutation is impossible: for no syllogism is possible (as we saw) 366 II, 20| refutation were possible, a syllogism must be possible; although 367 II, 20| possible; although if a syllogism is possible it does not 368 II, 20| fields of refutation and syllogism are defined in the same 369 II, 21| first premiss of the one syllogism is either wholly or partially 370 II, 21| thinking one premiss of each syllogism of both premisses of one 371 II, 21| knowledge obtained through the syllogism, nor is the thought in respect 372 II, 21| the universal would be a syllogism.~But he who thinks the essence 373 II, 22| so as in the affirmative syllogism. Again if A and B are convertible, 374 II, 23| belief comes either through syllogism or from induction.~Now induction, 375 II, 23| induction, or rather the syllogism which springs out of induction, 376 II, 23| all the cases.~Such is the syllogism which establishes the first 377 II, 23| there is a middle term the syllogism proceeds through the middle 378 II, 23| induction is opposed to syllogism: for the latter proves the 379 II, 23| In the order of nature, syllogism through the middle term 380 II, 23| prior and better known, but syllogism through induction is clearer 381 II, 27| being. Now an enthymeme is a syllogism starting from probabilities 382 II, 27| other is stated as well, a syllogism, e.g. "Pittacus is generous, 383 II, 27| conclusion is true, since the syllogism is not universal nor correlative 384 II, 27| should be good. But the syllogism which proceeds through the 385 II, 27| refutable in any case: for a syllogism can never be formed when
