Categorical Reasoning is when you take two bits of information and make it into a whole third bit of information. Ex.:

  • All cats are funny when playing with feathers.
  • Some cats are large.
  • Therefore, some large things are funny when playing with feathers.

See? You got two pieces of information, then you got a third piece of information! :)

However, there is something called hypothetical reasoning, and that's when you only affirm or deny something. So don't get those two things mixed up! :)

Book used: Traditional Logic: Advanced Formal Logic, by Martin Cothran. Part of the Classical Trivium Core Series. Written in 2000.

You've been schooled by a homeschooler!! XD
