Theorem barbara 2143

Description: "Barbara", one of the fundamental syllogisms of Aristotelian logic. All ph is ps, and all ch is ph, therefore all ch is ps. (In Aristotelian notation, AAA-1: MaP and SaM therefore SaP.) For example, given "All men are mortal" and "Socrates is a man", we can prove "Socrates is mortal". If H is the set of men, M is the set of mortal beings, and S is Socrates, these word phrases can be represented as A. x ( x e. H -> x e. M ) (all men are mortal) and A. x ( x = S -> x e. H ) (Socrates is a man) therefore A. x ( x = S -> x e. M ) (Socrates is mortal). Russell and Whitehead note that the "syllogism in Barbara is derived..." from syl 14. (quote after Theorem *2.06 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 101). Most of the proof is in alsyl 1649. There are a legion of sources for Barbara, including https://www.friesian.com/aristotl.htm 1649, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-logic/ 1649, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism 1649.
