CRITICAL THINKING EXTRA CREDIT PART 1
- Invent an argument with a true premise and a true conclusion that has the following form:
P and Q
Therefore P
(Notice premise one is NOT an if…then statement. So instead you have a first part + and + the second part. The conclusion is a simple statement with no connective).
- Invent 2 more arguments of this form, the first with a false premise and true conclusion, and the second with a false premise and a false conclusion.
- Can you invent an argument in the above form that has a true premise and a false conclusion?
- Consider this invalid argument: P and Q
Therefore P and R
(Again, there is NO if….then statement, both the premise and conclusion are and statements.)
Invent 4 arguments with this form, the first having a true premise and a true conclusion, the second a false premise and a true conclusion, the third a false premise and false conclusion, and finally one with a true premise and false conclusion.
