PHI 103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Venn Diagram, Enthymeme, Syllogism
Document Summary
Put both arguments in standard logical form and provide their mood and figure (neither is likely to be aea-2 or eoo-1 ). Determine the validity of each syllogism by both a venn diagram and by all of sal(cid:373)o(cid:374)(cid:859)s rules (cid:894)pro(cid:448)ide all of sal(cid:373)o(cid:374)(cid:859)s rules. (cid:895) explain why each statement in each argument is true or false. If you do not read the hints and i tell you to do something or to use a certain definition and you do not do so, you deserve to lose points. And if there seems to be a problem with the hints, let me know. (i change the arguments every semester but i may have forgotten to make the relevant change in the hints. ) Hints: you must put the argument in standard logical form as categorical syllogisms. This means that you must use the variables s, p, and m. you must also provide either a dictionary or an instance along with the form.
