Syllogism Validity Checker
made by Joshua Little
A simple tool to check the validity of categorical three statement syllogisms. This was made for fun, based off topics discussed in my intro to logic class.
Validity Tests: ?
-
Equal Negatives Test: ?
The number of negative statements in the conclusion must equal the number of negatives in the premises.
-
Quantity Test: ?
If both of the premises are particular in quantity, then the conclusion must also be particular, and if both premises are universals, then the conclusion must be universal.
-
Distributed Conclusion Test: ?
If a group is distributed in the conclusion, then it must also be distributed in a premise.
-
Distributed Middle Group Test: ?
The middle group must be distributed in at least one of the premises.
