Three types of Deductive Logic

...Syllogism is a three part prove of anything being true. Aristotle was the one to create Syllogisms in hopes of giving the people a better understanding of what the bible said in a more comprehensive matter. A syllogism starts off with a group and then turns to an individual matter. The equation of Syllogism is A=B, B=C, and A=C

An example of this would be:

-Fruit has nutrients

-Nutrients are good for you

-Fruit is good for you

In this example A=Fruit, B=Nutrients, C=Good for you



...A second type of deductive logic is called Modus Ponens.

In Modus ponens both terms have to be the same. You can have term p and term Q be reversed but in he end they will equal eachother.

An example of this would be :

- If its raining outside it is cold,

-If its cold outside, therefore it's raining

- The premise raining is true so the premise cold outside is true


......The last type of deductive reasoning is Modus Tollance.

In Modus Tollance there are negatives. Term Q is necessary for term P to exist. If term P does not exist then the outcome ofterm Q will be false.

An example of this would be:

-If it's raining outside, it's cold

-If its not cold outside

-Therfore it's not raining
