Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I have been scouring TH-cam for a simple but thorough explanation and THIS IS IT! You have saved me so much prep time as I put together a lesson for my charter school students.
Thank you so very much for your videos. They are very clear and understandable. You have helped me a great deal. Your volunteerism of teaching here on TH-cam is very noble. You should get an award. :)
I wish I had seen this last week when I started this whole topic. Trying to learn online at DeVry and you did an amazing job of summarizing 3 chapters of reading that I had to struggle with. Well done thanks!!
Michael, you are an excellent instructor. I broadly understood the concept of syllogisms but the Middle, Major and Minor terms always confused me. I could find them but more from a 'feel' for them. You showed a nice, simple method to get there with certainty. I watched several other videos, by other people, and whilst they got to the right answer it was hard to know how! Thank you for posting.
OK, this is great! Thanks so much. And definitely, I concur with +Charlie Matur, you sure explained this ten times better than my professor!!! I've been trying to understand major, middle and minor terms for weeks.
Oh my! You helped me to pass my exam. Thank you for being a good teacher.....I understand this so much better. My prof gave me kudos not knowing that I learned the breakdown from you.
Great explanations professor Curran, as an FYI for future references, the Sphynx (also known as the Canadian Sphynx) is a hairless variety of cat... but I think your argument is still valid... :)
You cleared this up more than the reading did. I am a student at Columbia College and we use "Western Philosophy: An Anthology" by John Cottingham. This is a really bad book because there is a big lack of explanation. This was definitely a great link provided by the instructor.
First - Thanks for the video! Second - The syllogism you used at 7:30 looks like it commits the fallacy of denying the antecedent. So for that reason alone it is not valid p1) If I owned all the gold in Fort Knox I would be wealthy p2) I do not own all the gold in Fort Knox C) I am not wealthy p1) P > Q p2) - P C) - Q
OH MY GOD.. I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE WASTING MY TIME LOOKING FOR VIDEOS ABOUT LOGIC IN TH-cam.. BUT YOU'RE HERE TO SAVE ME SIR! you explained it a lot more better than my prof. hhahahaha. for 19:54 mins i learned alot than in 2 weeks. FINALS LATER and im ready for the war hahah. godbless sir you earned a subbie! :D
what if it doesnt have the words all, some, no, not? my teacher uses examples like that and i cant figure out if its universal or particular so i cant analyze the structure
This is the best video I’ve seen on TH-cam. Outlined very well. Thanks!

Thank you! Just watched this and even though it was recorded in 2012 - it's still just as valid today.
thanks very much, I will have a mid term and you for sure explained it better than my professor :)

godbless sir you earned a subbie! :D
could you talk about Modus Ponens along with the other famous forms of argument . Btw ur doing a really good job at this (Y)
It sure would have been nice to see you diagram your syllogism, as that's what I am here to learn.
This is really good video. With your help i got a shot at my test tommorow.lol.
Thanks very much, I sometimes teach at Devry in Pittsburgh. Good luck to you
Thanks so much, this helps a lots...
thx I have a quiz on this tomorrow
Thank you for this amazing video! Can you please replace my professor? Haha, but seriously, this is such a big help! Thank you!!
what if it doesnt have the words all, some, no, not? my teacher uses examples like that and i cant figure out if its universal or particular so i cant analyze the structure
Next time just say
"Structure determines validity , content determines soundness"
This is the easiest way to teach these concepts.
