The three fundamental building blocks of Aristotelian logic are terms, propositions, and syllogisms. Each of these has its own function and specific set of properties. In this lesson, we have looked at terms. Terms are the most basic building blocks of logic. In order to think and argue logically, we must fully understand and master the use of terms. In this lesson, we discussed how terms cannot be true or false. Being able to assign truth or falsity to a form of speech is an easy way to show that it is not a term. Additionally, we discussed that the copula is not considered to be a term. Finally, we made a distinction between categorematic and syncategorematic terms, and we made this distinction on the basis of understanding what a category is. In the following lessons, we will take a closer look at propositions and syllogisms.
