"Los cuatro términos"

"Los cuatro términos" refers to a concept in logic and syllogism, particularly in classical Aristotelian logic. It outlines four components involved in logical reasoning: the major term (the predicate of the conclusion), the minor term (the subject of the conclusion), the middle term (which links the major and minor terms), and the conclusion itself. This framework helps structure arguments and analyze their validity, ensuring clear relationships between premises and the conclusion. Understanding these terms aids in developing critical thinking and improving argumentation skills.
