All this implies that argument-forms cannot be described precisely as long as our instrument of reasoning is ordinary language. Consider the argument John is a rascal Peter is a rascal John and Peter are rascals. Here 'John', 'Peter', and 'rascal' are variable elements, so that we get the argument-form A is aP B is aP A and Bare P's. However, if we now substitute 'John', 'Peter' and 'brother' for A, Band P, respectively, we get: John is a brother Peter is a brother John and Peter are brothers an inference which apparently is not valid.
However, if we now substitute 'John', 'Peter' and 'brother' for A, Band P, respectively, we get: John is a brother Peter is a brother John and Peter are brothers an inference which apparently is not valid. It is because of difficulties like these that traditional logic has not succeeded in identifying and classifying all argument-forms occurring in science. 5,10 Finally, the theory of definition of traditional logic is totally insufficient; as proper definitions it only recognizes those per genus proximum et differentiam specijicam.
Let me observe, following Scholz (1931; cf. also the fundamental works Lukasiewicz, 1935 and 1951), that in every judgment and in every argument traditional logic distinguishes between the variable elements constituting the content and the constant elements constituting the form. Consider the judgment 'Socrates is mortal'. If the subject 'Socrates' is replaced by 'Julius Caesar' or 'Rembrandt' or 'Kant' and the predicate mortal by 'famous' or 'profound', the resulting judgment has a different content but the same form; this common form of the two judgments is expressed in the copula 'is' .
