Minor premise: a special statement attached to the previous major premise.

Syllogism is a simple reasoning judgment in deductive reasoning. It consists of three parts: a proposition (major premise) containing major terms and middle terms, a proposition (minor premise) containing minor terms and middle terms and a proposition (conclusion) containing minor terms and major terms.

Syllogism is that people can get correct conclusions when thinking about mathematical proof, handling cases and scientific research.

definition

Syllogism reasoning is a simple reasoning judgment in deductive reasoning.

It includes: a general principle (major premise), a special statement (minor premise) attached to the previous major premise, and a conclusion that the special statement conforms to the general principle.

Syllogism reasoning: When thinking, the brain first uses a well-defined and wide-ranging general principle A (referred to as "major premise"), and then finds another minor premise B through scientific experiments. When all the connotations of the concept of B can be contained in the major premise A, and the content of the concept of B is described in words, it cannot be artificially the same as the major premise A (short for minor premise B).

Then according to minor premise B, if it belongs to major premise A, then the nature of B must be the same as that of major premise, and a reliable and correct judgment can be obtained. This thinking process is called the correct conclusion C process-the scientific term is "syllogism reasoning".
