Define 2 things that make a good argument - Valid Argument (good reasoning)àthe truth of the premises guarantees
the truth of conclusion.
o So its impossible for the premises to be true & the conclusion to be
false. (the premises don't have to be true).
o Ex:
§ All toasters are items made of gold.
§ All items made of gold are time travel devices.
§ C: Therefore, all toasters are time travel devices
o NOTE: the premises guarantee truth of conclusion. BUT the premises
aren't actually true (so its valid, but NOT sound).
- Sound Argumentàmust be valid & needs premises that are actually
TRUE.
o Ex:
§ In some states, felons are not eligible to vote.
§ In those states, some professional athletes are felons.
§ C: Therefore, in some states some professional athletes are not eligible
to vote.
What is modus ponens? Give example. - If X then Y;
- X;
- Thus Y
- Ex:
o P1: If a tracheotomy will cause baby joseph to suffer needlessly, then
the tracheotomy should not be allowed;
o P2: A tracheotomy will cause Baby Joseph to suffer needlessly,
o C: Thus, the tracheotomy should not be allowed.
