Who likes categorical syllogism?
I sure do.
Now, dont be scared by the name "categorical syllogism".
Its actually not scary, but very simple form of logic.
Let me give you an example.
All cats are animals.
All animals eat food.
Therefore, all cats eat food.
Simple, isnt it?
Its like math:
X = Y
Y = Z
Therefore
X = Z
Or in a different form:
X = Y
Z = X
Z = Y
In the argument form, it goes like:
All people deserve human rights.
All gays are people.
All gays deserve human rights.
Or in another form:
All gays are people.
All people deserve human rights.
All gays deserve human rights.
And that is categorical syllogism form of argument.
