LOGIC 102lesson 05 Sh. Safdar Razi
The Conditional Syllogism • Arabic:al-qadiyaa al-shartiyya • Definition: • Is composed of two predicative/propositional statements or three parts: • The first part (al-muqadama) • The second part (al-taalie) • The connector (al-raabitta/nisba) • This is not like the predicative syllogism, in that the nisba here is not used to prove/affirm the predicative to the subject. • Instead it connects the two statements.
Notes: • In the predicative syllogism we divided the types of subjects with respect to the perspectives. • However, since we do not have a subject and its predicate here, instead we have two syllogisms that either are: • Associative (talaazum) • Dissociative (ta’aanud)
Types of Conditional • Therefore, with respect to the time and condition, the connection or disconnection between the two statements of the syllogism is of three types: • Personal (shakhsiyya) • Unattended (muhmalla) • Specific (mahsoora): a. Total (kulliya)b. Some (juz’iyya)
1. Personal • Arabic: shakhsiyya • Definition: • The connection or disconnection is in a specific time or state. • Example: • If Ali comes angry, I will not greet him. • If Ali comes, he will be either happy or sad.
2. Unattended • Arabic: muhmalla • Definition: • The connection or disconnection is in an unspecified time or state. • Example: • If the water is kurr, it will not become unpurified. • If the impurity touches the water, it either becomes pure or impure.
3. Specific • Arabic: mahsoora • Definition: • The connection or disconnection includes all or some times or states. • Two types: • All (kullie) • Some (juz’ee)
a. Specific All • Arabic: kullie • Tools: “all” or “always” or “every” • Example: • If a nation is always mindful of technology, it will progress. • Every number is either odd or even.
b. Specific Some • Arabic: juz’ee • Tools: “some” or “sometimes” or “not always” • Example: • If a nation is not always mindful of technology, it will not progress. • Some men are male or female.
