Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure something out. I've convinced myself but am not completely sure, so would like to work this out with the community.
I haven't read Aristotle. Are there steadfast rules to syllogism one must never ever break or is there an essence? What is the intention of syllogism? Would you say the following is a syllogism? Why or why not? The surprising fact, C, is observed. But if A were true, C would be a matter of course. Hence, there is reason to suspect that A is true. Thanks for any input, Jerry Rhee
