Epicheirema

Among the tools of logic in persuasive rhetoric, the Epicheireme is another kind of chain argument, or compound syllogism, similar to the sorites. An epicheirema, like a sorites, is an abridged polysyllogism; but unlike a sorites, it is of formally limited length, and the movement of thought is partly backward and partly forward. Epicheirema are categorical syllogisms in which at least one of the premises contains causal propositions. A causal proposition is a proposition or the reasons for believing the proposition to be true and along with the form of the argument being valid and the deductive inference as a whole to be sound.
