Syllogism:
All syllogisms are arguments from major to minor premise
Socrates is not a premise
Therefore, "All men are mortal..." is not a syllogism
Is this a syllogism? A syllogism necessarily characterises a flow from two connected premises to the conclusion. I don't think that your first statement is correct. The second one is correct, but the third one, I feel, is a non-sequitor; it does not follow from the second.
Regards,
Manoj.
PS: I read somewhere about a great book or an articles, proving many false things using non-sequitors. Does anybody know about it?
