The ordering of subject, middle and predicate in the major and minor premises, and the use of \"all are...\", \"all are not...\", \"some are...\" and \"some are not...\" determines the validity.

\n

Consider the following syllogisms

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

All mammals are animals;

\n

All cats are mammals;

\n

Therefore all cats are animals.

\n
\n

Some mammal is an animal;

\n

All cats are mammals;

\n

Therefore some cats are mammals.

\n
\n

All mammals are animals;

\n

All cats are mammals;

\n

Therefore some cat is an animal.

\n
\n

Let's denote by $M$, $A$ and $C$ the sets of mammals, animals and cats, respectively.

\n

The first syllogism is valid: we can see this through transitivity of equivalence: $M=C=A$. (Note that even if every set is empty, the equivalence still holds: we will see the importance of that shortly)

\n

The second syllogism is not valid: it is not necessarily true that the shared set $C \\cup M \\cup A$ is non-empty. $C$ is a subset of $M$, and some elements of $M$ must be in $A$, but those elements needn't be contained in $C$.

\n

The final syllogism is valid, but only if we assume the existence of cats (i.e. assume the set $C$ is non-empty). If a cat exists, then it must be an animal and therefore the syllogism holds; if no cat exists, then the conclusion (a particular cat is an animal) does not hold.

Recall that a set of statements $\\Gamma$ models a proposition $\\phi$ if the satisfaction of $\\Gamma$ implies the satisfaction of $\\phi$. Therefore, the easiest way to check such a system is to find any valuation in which $\\phi$ fails to hold, but $\\Gamma$ can be seen to be true.

\n

Consider $\\Gamma=\\{R\\vee P,\\,Q\\rightarrow R\\}$ and $\\phi=P\\wedge R$. Then we can see that $\\phi$ will be false if $P$ or $R$ are false. Since $\\Gamma$ contains $P\\vee R$, we need at least one to be true: taking $P=1,\\,Q=0$ and $R=0$ allows $\\Gamma$ to hold but $P\\wedge R$ to be false. The valuation is often not unique: if we instead took $P=0$, $R=1$ and then $Q$ could take either value.

To obtain the disjunctive normal form (DNF), we take the union of any valuations of $P$ and $Q$ that make the statement true. In this case, working down the rows of the truth table give

\n

$(\\neg P \\wedge Q)\\vee(\\neg P \\wedge \\neg Q).$

\n

The conjunctive normal form is given by the negation of the DNF of the negation of the statement: the cases for which the statement fails are $( P \\wedge Q)\\vee(P \\wedge \\neg Q)$. So negating this gives

\n

$\\neg((P \\wedge Q)\\vee(P \\wedge \\neg Q))=(\\neg P\\vee \\neg Q)\\wedge(\\neg P \\vee Q),$

\n

which is the CNF for the statement.

\n

Note that this method needn't give the simplest result: from inspecting the table the statement is equivalent to $\\neg P$, which is in DNF and CNF already!
