Categorical Syllogism

Categorical syllogism is a logical argument containing two premises and a conclusion.

It is concerned with the properties of, and relations between, categories.

An example of a categorical syllogism is "All trees are plants. All plants require nouorishment. Therefore all trees require nourishment."
This is a valid syllogism, since the truth of the premises guarantees the truth of the conclusion.
