Противоречива ли е традиционната силогистика?
Is Traditional Syllogistics Contradictory?

Summary/Abstract: The article is in defense of Traditional logic from the constant attacks against it: misunderstandings, oblivion, limitations, accusations, “corrections”, ignoring. This time it appears that it is “logically contradictory”: namely, that false propositions can be derived from true premises. The example of “logical contradiction” is: “No mathematician has proven Euclid’s fifth postulate” ⎢− “Some non-mathematicians have proven Euclid’s fifth postulate”. So Traditional logic (Syllogistics) is accused of this faulty reasoning. “Empty terms” and “Existential import” play an important role in the current “modern” views of syllogistics and are crucial in the explanations of “modern” logicians. But the old lady called “Traditional Logic” (“Traditional syllogistics”) is surprisingly alive and kicking.
