Abstract

AbstractIn assertoric syllogism, Aristotle was concerned with pairs of premises that may or may not produce a valid conclusion. Medievals and contemporaries are interested in the number of valid syllogisms and figures. This paper proposes the notion of diagrammatic isomorphism using Venn-Peirce diagrams to offer remarkable insight into the theory of syllogisms. The exercise aims to realign the debates on the assertoric syllogistic to its primogenitor’s path.KeywordsSyllogisticConcludent pairsDiagrammatic congruenceDiagrammatic isomorphismVenn-Peirce diagrams
