Question
Medieval philosophers identified various arguments of this type using names like Barbara and Celarent, with the three vowels denoting the argument’s mood. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this form of logical argument studied by Aristotle that uses two connected propositions to derive a third.
ANSWER: syllogism [accept word forms like syllogistic]
[10m] This term in a syllogism does not appear in the conclusion, unlike the major and minor terms. The syllogism “All A are B. All C are B. Therefore, all C are A.” exemplifies a fallacy in which this term is “undistributed.”
ANSWER: middle term [accept fallacy of the undistributed middle; accept non distributio medii]
[10h] Barbara, Celarent, Darii, and Ferio comprise this group of self-evident syllogisms, defined as having a middle term that is the subject of one premise and the predicate of the next. In the Prior Analytics, Aristotle proved that any syllogism can be reduced to a universal syllogism in this group.
ANSWER: first figure [accept figure one or equivalents]
