Document Summary
Phil c1010: arguments, arguments can"t be true or false, conclusions and propositions can be, proposition the that clause i. ii. iii. The proposition comes after that : an argument isn"t a proposition so it cannot be either true or false, an argument is made up or premises and a conclusion i. ii. The conclusion can also either be true false, or flow from the premises or not: validity is when the conclusion follows from the premise i. Example: premise 1 all mice are great mathematicians, premise 2 sebastian is a mouse, You start off with the opposite view and show that it is absurd. Because their view is absurd, yours is true. The fool (or the absurd) would say that there is no such thing as right or wrong. You can say this leads to absurdity, because they imply that they say it is right for you to believe there is no right or wrong.
