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).
