Illicit Major

Illicit major is a logical fallacy committed in a categorical syllogism that is invalid because its major term is undistributed in the major premise but distributed in the conclusion. Example:
  • All dogs are mammals. No cats are dogs. Therefore, no cats are mammals.
See also: syllogistic fallacy, illicit minor.
