Please upload a document of 400-500 words responding to all of the following instructions:
(1) Compose a sound (categorical) syllogism in standard form.
(2) List the middle term, major term, & minor term.
(3) State the figure and mood of the syllogism.
(4) Clearly and fully state Houser’s four rules of validity
(5) Articulate why or how your syllogism conforms to each of Houser’s four rules of validity. Be thorough and detailed in your explanation.
(6) Convert the syllogism into a short paragraph, ensuring that all three premises are present.
(7) Would the paragraph benefit from a more subtle approach? If so, omit one of the premises or conclusions in order to formulate an enthymeme.
(8) Would the paragraph benefit from additional support? If so, add an epicheirema or another argument.
The uploaded document should be single-spaced, with 1 in. margins all around, and executed in a standard 12 pt. font such as Times New Roman, Arial, Garamond, etc. While this is primarily a response paper, you should provide parenthetical citations wherever applicable. Citations should follow the following format: (Last Name of Author, short title, #).
Remember, your essay should be your own and based primarily upon the course material and/or the designated resources for the assignment. This is not a research paper. Do not copy and paste from outside web sources or consult any unauthorized material (whether print or digital). If you would like to utilize a source you are unsure about, please seek permission from the professor. Use of unauthorized source material will result in a “0” on the assignment. Use of LLMs, Generative AI, chatbots, or prompt-generators of any kind is absolutely prohibited. This includes but is not limited to ChatGPT, QuillBot, and AI enhanced applications such as Grammarly. The consequences for plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty are outlined in the syllabus.
