LessonsExceptive Syllogism: Valid Inferences from Connected and Disjunctive ConditionalsQuiz

وهو مركب من مقدمتين أي قضيتين: إحداهما شرطية والأخرى حملية
It consists of two premises, that is, two propositions: one conditional and the other categorical.

The first premise states a connected or disjunctive relationship. The second asserts or denies one side of that relationship.

Thus an exceptive syllogism is not just a sentence of the form “if ... then ...”. The second premise is needed for a specific conclusion to follow.
