Which of the following are the parts of Aristotelian Syllogism?
A. Major Premises
B. Minor Premises
C. Conclusion
D. Symbols
E. Truthfulness
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
In classical Aristotelian logic, a standard categorical syllogism is a three-proposition deductive argument consisting of a Major Premise (A, containing the major term), a Minor Premise (B, containing the minor term), and a Conclusion (C, linking the minor and major terms). Modern symbolic notation (D) and empirical truthfulness (E, as opposed to formal validity) are not structural parts of the Aristotelian syllogism. Therefore, A, B and C only is the correct answer.
