Use the six rules to determine why the following standard-form categorical syllogism is valid under the modern interpretation.
AEE-2
The modern interpretation's assumption of existential import bears on the evaluation of the argument, in that the conclusion is satisfied because both universal premises eliminate the possibility of anything existing in the area of overlap between S and P.
correct
incorrect
Because all three propositions are universal, the modern interpretation's assumption of existential import does in fact bear on the evaluation of the argument. The conclusion is not satisfied because both universal premises eliminate the possibility of anything existing in the area of overlap between P and M.

Use the six rules to determine why the following standard-form categorical syllogism is valid under the modern interpretation.
AII-3
Although the modern interpretation does not assume the existence of at least one member of the middle term class, the conclusion is satisfied because the minor premise asserts that the existence of at least one member of the M class is also a member of the S class. There is nowhere for this M to exist except in the area where S and P overlap, because the major premise has eliminated the possibility of any M existing outside of the P class.

Although the modern interpretation does not assume the existence of at least one member of the major term class, the conclusion is satisfied because the minor premise asserts that the existence of at least one member of the M class is also a member of the S class. There is nowhere for this M to exist except in the area where S and P overlap, because the major premise has eliminated the possibility of any M existing outside of the S class.

AEE-4
The modern interpretation's assumption of existential import in fact bears on the evaluation of the argument, in that the conclusion is not satisfied because both universal premises eliminate the possibility of anything existing in the area of overlap between S and P.
correct
incorrect
Because all three propositions are universal, under the modern interpretation, the assumption of existential import does not bear on the evaluation of the argument. The conclusion is satisfied because both universal premises eliminate the possibility of anything existing in the area of overlap between S and P.
