PHIL 1200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Lebron James, If....
Document Summary
Include as many premises as you want, but only include one conclusion. If p is true, then q must be true. If hannah lives in georgia, then hannah lives in the united states. The premises and conclusion are related but it"s invalid because the 2 truths become a false. If you live in the united states, you don"t necessarily have to live in georgia. What makes an argument valid is not the validity of the content; the form is what makes it valid. The premises don"t have to be true to make it valid, but they have to have a relationship. If the premises are true then the conclusion must be true.
