Venn Diagram Technique For Testing Syllogisms
syllogisms
We have used two-circle Venn diagrams
to represent standard-form categorical
propositions. In order to test a
categorical syllogism by the method of
Venn diagrams, one must first represent
both of its premises in one diagram.
That will require drawing three
overlapping circles, for the two premises
of a standard-form syllogism contain
three different terms-minor term, major
term, and middle term.
