 JMC : Elements of Logic / by Cardinal Mercier

Article II.

Reasoning

47. Preliminary Remarks. Object of Article II. -- Chapter III of this treatise has for its object the formation of the logical order. In a former article we saw how concepts perform their functions in a judgment, and terms in a proposition. We next classified judgments, then set them side by side and compared them.

Judgments in their turn form the elements of a more complex order. Known judgments lead to a new judgment, through a discursive process called reasoning. This process, when expressed in words or writing, is called syllogism.

Hence these two paragraphs:

Reasoning and syllogism (§ 1).

The various forms of these two (§ 2).
