disamis Logic.|ˈdɪsəmɪs|
The mnemonic term (introduced by Petrus Hispanus, c 1250) designating the second mood of the third figure of syllogisms, in which the major premiss is a particular affirmative (i), the minor a universal affirmative (a), and the conclusion a particular affirmative (i).
The initial letter d shows that the mood can be reduced to Darii, by simple conversion of the major, transposition of the premisses, and simple conversion of the conclusion, as indicated by the letters s, m, s, following the three vowels.
1551T. Wilson Logike (1580) 30 The third figure..This argument is reduced to Darii..Di. Mercie onely forgiveth synnes. sa. All mercie is purchased by faithe; mis. Therfore by faith onely forgivenes is obteined. 1624N. De Lawne tr. Du Moulin's Logick 144. 1891 Welton Logic I. iv. iii. §136 Disamis..As example we may give: ‘Some pronouns in English are inflected; all such pronouns are words of English origin; therefore, some words of English origin are inflected’. Ibid., As an I proposition can be simply converted, it is a matter of very small moment whether an argument is expressed in Disamis or in Datisi. |
