Summary/Abstract: Aristotle classifies syllogisms identifying three main types: demonstration (sullogismos epistemonikon, apodeixis), dialectical syllogism (sullogismos dialektikos) and contentious (sullogismos eristikos) (or sophistical) syllogism. These can differ by purpose or by the kind of premise (protaseis) they entail
