| 释义 | > as lemmasmediate inference In English, the word appears first in the general sense, not as a term of formal Logic. In Logical treatises, it is found first applied to the deductive process of the syllogism, and its conclusion ( mediate inference); its application to the inferring of a conclusion from a single proposition by conversion, opposition, permutation, or the like ( immediate inference), and its use in the logic of induction ( inductive inference) appear later, and are not accepted by all logicians. On the other hand, some restrict the term to induction, and deny that either a syllogism or an immediate inference can properly be called an inference.extracted from inferencen.mediate inference mediate inference n.
