| Paragraph 1 |
We must first state the subject of our inquiry and the faculty to
which it belongs: |
| Paragraph 2 |
A premiss then is a sentence affirming or denying one thing of
another. |
| Paragraph 3 |
I call that a term into which the premiss is resolved,
i.e. both the
predicate and that of which it is predicated, 'being' being added
and 'not being' removed, or vice versa. |
| Paragraph 4 |
A syllogism is discourse in which, certain things being stated,
something other than what is stated follows of necessity from their
being so. |
| Paragraph 5 |
I call that a perfect syllogism which needs nothing other than
what has been stated to make plain what necessarily follows; |
| Paragraph 6 |
That one term should be included in another as in a whole is the
same as for the other to be predicated of all of the first. |
