Answer 3

Spllogism is that in which an inference is
drawn f r ~ ma general rule or class to a subordinate
part or individual belonging to that class; which
must of course partake of its general nature or chaacter.
, This species of argument affords cerfainty or
truth. .Take, for example, " The world is changeable,
and every. thing liable to change was created ;"
thus they obtain the conclusion that the world did
not exist from eternity, that is, was- created. Be it
then understood, that two sentences combined, from
the nature of which there necessarily arises a third,
constitute what is called Keeause or syllogism : and
the third sentence thus obtained is called Ncte jrk,
that is, the conclusion. . -
The subject and predicate contained in the conclusion
of the syllogism described is called the Maddeh,
that is, the matder of the conclusioq; and tlie
order in which 'they are placed constitutes what is
called Heiye~, that is, the form or figure. If the
matterand.figure of the conclusion appear in the premises
of the syllogism, then that syllogism is called
conditional, because the conditional particle Leikitr
must be included in it. Take, for example, cC whenever
the sun shines day must exist ;" but the sun
shines, which gives the conclusion-" Then day exists,"
which is materially and formally contained in
the precedjng syllogism.
