Syllogistic fallacies are logical errors that occur in syllogisms—arguments that consist of two premises followed by a conclusion. A syllogism typically has the form: 1. Major premise: All A are B. 2. Minor premise: C is A. 3. Conclusion: Therefore, C is B. A syllogistic fallacy arises when the logical structure of the syllogism is invalid, even if the premises may be true.
