practical syllogism : ウィキペディア英語版 | practical syllogism
The practical syllogism is an instance of practical reasoning which takes the form of a syllogism, where the conclusion of the syllogism is an action.〔(Sparknotes: Nichomachean Ethics terms ) Retrieved on May 16, 2009〕 ==Aristotle== Aristotle discusses the notion of the practical syllogism within his treatise on ethics, his ''Nichomachean Ethics''. A syllogism is a three-proposition argument consisting of a major premise stating some universal truth, a minor premise stating some particular truth, and a conclusion derived from these two premises.〔(Virtue Ethics info centre ) Retrieved on May 16, 2009〕 The practical syllogism is a form of practical reasoning in syllogistic form, the conclusion of which is an action. An example might be that the major premise ''food cures hunger'' and the minor premise ''I am hungry'' leads to the practical conclusion of my eating food. Note that the conclusion here is not a third proposition, like ''I will eat'', or the occurrence of an utterance like "I will eat," but is simply the act of eating. For this reason, practical syllogisms are only called syllogisms analogically. Since they do not consist of at least three propositions, they are not syllogisms properly speaking.
