PHIL-1020 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Bow Wow (Rapper)
Document Summary
Lecture 3: truth is something that has facts to support it. Believing to be true is something that is true in the eye of the beholder. No one has the right to question the beliefs: there is a distinction you could be speaking truths, but they aren"t justified. If believing to be true is true then there is no need to learn. Intellectual code of conduct: the fallibility principle: admitting we can be wrong, we"re not perfect, be devoted to the truth and recognizing its fallibility. If you assume what you want to prove, that"s problematic: argument: set of statements supported by evidence, premise: an assumption, arguments usually (not always) start with since , before , or. Because : sub premises: defend many assumptions, deductive arguments: aim to produce necessity! If the assumptions were true then the conclusion cannot be false (valid).
