en-wikipedia-org-7207		The False Subtlety of the Four Syllogistic Figures - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	2403	262	60	A judgment is the comparison of a subject or thing with a predicate or attribute [also called a "mark"]. For example, in the judgment "the sun is luminous," I attempt a clarification by inserting the predicate "star," which then becomes an immediate predicate, intermediate between the subject "sun" and the mediate predicate "luminous." The comparison of a subject with a remote, mediate predicate occurs through three judgments: Kant declared that the primary, universal rule of all affirmative ratiocination is: A predicate of a predicate is a predicate of the subject (grammar). The primary, universal rule of all negative ratiocination is: Whatever is inconsistent with the predicate of a subject is inconsistent with the subject. If one judgment can be immediately discerned from another judgment without the use of a middle term, then the inference is not a ratiocination. Kant claimed that the fourth figure is based on the insertion of several immediate inferences that each have no middle term.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7207.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7207.txt
