A set of philosophical statements devised by
Aristotle in his work on logic. It
establishes the conditions under which a
valid conclusion follows or does not follow
by deduction from given premises. The
following is an example of a valid syllogism:
`All men are mortal, Socrates is a man,
therefore Socrates is mortal.'
