Process of elimination
More symbols to work with
Apriori Knowledge-
used prior experiences to make assumptions
initial assumptions led to certain conclusions
We infer from past experiences led to certain conclusions
We are NOT pure empiricists
Rationalists-
Assumptions=Premise
Deduction-
Apriori Knowledge (in form of general theory)
APPLYING IT
All dogs are mammals
Fido is a dog

above a syllogism
syllogism
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUTH
either valid or invalid
3 terms occuring twice
A quantifer at begining

Valid Syllogies
All penguins are black and white
This tv show is black and white
therefore this tv show is a penguin
All panthers are pink
Huey Newton is a Panther
Therefore Huey Newton is Pink
