Question: ​How many ​valid ​forms of syllogisms are there? The ‘matematization’ of Logic Syllogisms have been the main form of argument studied in logic for 2000 years (from Aristotle to the 19th Century). It was believed that all arguments, even every complex ones, could ultimately be reduced to a series/combination of syllogisms. However, in the 19th Century, the limitations of this theory became clear and new formalisms were developed. The idea was to handle more complicated problems, more efficiently, with the aid of mathematical symbolism.
