Syllogism

Alright. So, today we learned about syllogisms, the most fantastic things in the whole nutting world.
A syllogism is a bringing together of two statements to arrive at a conclusion. Syllogisms must have 3 parts - a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion. Or, as Aristotle explained it - each of the premises is in the form "Some/All A belongs to B," where "Some/All A" is one term and "belong to B" is another. For example: All core teachers can fly(major premise). Mr. Basinger is a core teacher (minor premise). Mr. Basinger can fly (conclusion). Each premise contains two parts, noted by the formula for syllogisms: A=B B=C C=A. In the major premise (All core teachers can fly.), "All core teachers" is B, and "can fly" is part A. In the minor statement (Mr. Basinger is a core teacher.) "Mr. Basinger is C, and "is a core teacher" is (as it was in the major premise) B. Therefore, in the conclusion when we state, "Mr. Basinger can fly," we are fulfilling the formula (C=A) - Mr. Basinger (C) can fly (A).
