Syllogism

A syllogism is a logical structure used to arrive at a conclusion based on two premises. It typically consists of three parts: a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion. For example, if the major premise states that "All humans are mortal," and the minor premise states that "Socrates is a human," the conclusion would be "Socrates is mortal." Syllogisms help in reasoning and drawing logical conclusions by clearly connecting related statements. They are foundational in fields like philosophy, mathematics, and formal logic.
