How can the "I-proposition" has a "Not" in his statement and the "O-proposition" doesn't have it, how is it possible because my teacher told me the opposite. Grace Kamdome (talk) 05:15, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strictly speaking, an inference is not necessarily a reasoning since it can be immediate.

Indeed, an immediate inference can refer to a sensation. This "is given first and it is from her that the object is inferred". Example: The observation of a cat infers the object of a cat, the immediate inference: this is a cat.

Immediate inference can also be reasoning. It is then composed of "two propositions: a premise and a conclusion". The immediate Aristotelian inferences are in the form of a logical square.

In french, inference is no defines of a reasoning, but a movement of movement of thought. --Philogik (talk) 17:25, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
