Summary/Abstract: The article presents a summary of the syllogistic theory through a brief history followed by a personal contribution of the author. Thus, for logical computation, we use only the relations of the set theory, introducing the non-set as all that exist externally to a certain set of objects. Contrary to the current situation in classical logic, all syllogisms have been reduced to the basic universal assertion we have given a direct demonstration to by using the set theory.
