ASYNCHRONOUS ACTIVITY #1

TO DO:

Give 3 examples each:

1. Categorical Syllogisms

A. All mammals are warm-blooded.


All sandy cats are mammals.
Therefore, all sandy cats are warm-blooded.

Isko Moreno is not an elected public official.
Therefore, Isko Moreno is not a City Mayor.

C. All cars have wheels.


I drive a car.
Therefore, my car has wheels.

2. Hypothetical Syllogism

But the chemical is not acidic.
Then the blue litmus paper will not turn red.
Define and give 3 examples each:
1. Conditional Syllogism
Conditional syllogism is a syllogism in which the major premise is a
conditional statement. The major premise is composed of two parts:
antecedent and consequent. The antecedent is the component which
states the condition while the consequent is the result which follows from
the antecedent.

Examples:

A. If Pipay was in South Korea when the crime of murder


happened, then she cannot commit the crime.
It was proven that Pipay was in South Korea at that time.
Therefore, she cannot have committed the crime of murder.

B. If Coco used shabu, then there should be remains of shabu


inside his body.
According to the medical examination, there was no trace of
shabu inside his body.
Therefore, he did not use shabu.

C. If you are worthy, then you can have my blessing.


But you are not worthy.
Therefore, you cannot have my blessing.

2. Disjunctive Syllogism
Disjunctive syllogism is a hypothetical syllogism in which the major
premise is a disjunctive proposition. There are two kinds of disjunctive
syllogism – strict disjunctive and broad disjunctive. The former exists
when one, and only one, is true among the disjuncts while the latter
happens when at least one disjunct is true but both disjuncts can be true.

Examples:

A. Either the mango is green or yellow.


But the mango is not green.
Therefore, the mango is yellow.

B. Atty. Tan is either in the classroom conducting a graded


recitation or she is computing the midterm grades.
But Atty. Tan is not computing the midterm grades.
Therefore, Atty. Tan is in the classroom conducting a graded
recitation.

C. Susan might be cooking or reading a book.


But she is not reading a book.
Therefore, she is cooking.

3. Conjunctive Syllogism
Conjunctive Syllogism is a syllogism whose major premise is a
conjunctive proposition. A conjunctive syllogism consists of the denial of
a conjunction for the first premise and a premise which either affirms or
denies a conjunct.

A. Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man.


Jesus Christ is fully God.
Therefore, Jesus Christ is fully man.

B. Roses are red and violets are blue.


Roses are red.
Violets are blue.

C. Men are elected to salvation and Men have free will.


Men are elected to salvation.
