Abstract

In this chapter, we will discuss mediate inference (i.e. syllogism) in detail with suitable examples. We will analyse the moods and figures of syllogism, describe the rules for the syllogism, and apply the rules of syllogism to each mood by linking them to figures of syllogism to find out the valid moods and valid arguments of the syllogism. In the end, we will list out the valid moods of the syllogism corresponding to the four figures of syllogism.
