| I wonder, has this censor never found in poetry a vision of truth more profound than can be told in syllogisms? |
| But as with all syllogisms, the validity hinges on the major and minor premises. |
| They give reasons, they use syllogisms, they argue by suggesting counterexamples, they engage in all the hallmarks of reasoned argument. |
| But all syllogisms require the premises to be true, and that is the fundamental failing of the brief. |
| To understand the history of ideas, we need to look not at syllogisms but at who wields power or at the subconscious mind. |
| Aristotle was charged with preferring flimsy theories and sterile syllogisms to the solid, fertile facts. |
