About me
My name is Paolo Manca.
I work as a designer and programmer, mainly building web applications on LAMP and J2EE platforms. I studied philosophy (Kant’s Logic and Trascendental Philosophy) and I received my degree from the University of Pavia.

About the blog
Cesare camestres festino baroco, …
Have you ever seen this sequence? Every word is a figure of syllogism.
This is the most famous figure of syllogism:
- Socrates is a human
- All humans are mortal
- Socrate is mortal
The theory of syllogism is at the core of deductive reasoning and the whole logic.
About me and my blog
The blog’s name is inspired by a Medieval logical concept. I thought to something like a bridge between philosophy and programming.
In my opinion, humanistic and scientific matters require a common method: clear thinking. Logic is the main instrument to clear thinking.
But in this blog I don’t write about Logic. I can’t!
This blog was created to try to communicate in different languages: english, italian, gallurese.
Why not?

I do not think your example above is of the BARBARA mode. For this mode it is required that both terms and the conclusion be of the universal affirmative (A) type:
All humans are mortal
All mortals decay
ERGO: All humans decay
You’ve right! Now is fixed.
