Who laid the foundation of syllogism?
To Aristotle, a deduction was a reasonable argument in which “when certain things are laid down, something else follows out of necessity in virtue of their being so.” His theory of deduction is the basis of what philosophers now call a syllogism, a logical argument where the conclusion is inferred from two or more other premises of a certain form.

I enjoy hearing everyone's opinion, even ones I do not agree with, without the name-calling.

And I agree with the others. Play nice kids. This "fun" quiz site's players are nothing to get riled up about. The slams you dole out only brings you to their lower levels. I think you are better than that.

Bill Coe,
Dusty Koellhoffer has drunk the Kool-Aid. Did you notice the lack of scientific credentials in his articles, the lack of footnotes, and the fact that all his information comes from one slanted source?
He speaks in broad, sweeping generalizations and offers no concrete corroboration. He votes against his own best interests. He is more than an a**hole; he is an ignorant fool experiencing cognitive dissonance in the face of facts.

I don't know anything about Aristotle Socrates Plato and or any of the so called, great philosophers. I figured who were they to impose their theory and rhetoric upon the world and the world run with it. I am a great thinker and I have my own philosophy. I could not accept it nor comprehend it, so I left it alone comply. I can think for myself!

For me Aristotle is up there with Graucho Marx, Bob Hope and Sheriff Roscoe P Coltrane.
