[1]
Aristotle divided the the moods of syllogism into three figures. According to him, "we shall recognize the figure by the position of the middle term" (
Prior Analytics 47b13), so the principle for determining each figure is the position the middle term has: as subject or predicate of the premisses in a deductive argument.
[2] i.e. the combination of premisses with one another and with the conclusion in an argument.
