Summary/Abstract: The paper refers to the classic works of Polish authors (Łukasiewicz, Sleszyński, Zawirski) and comprises the idea of proof by ecthesis (originally formulated by Borkowski) with the use of list notation to show that the five diagrams by Euler, which provide a starting point for Sleszyński’s analysis, adequately formulate the system of syllogistic with negative terms (Iwanuś and Wedberg’s axiomatization).
