SOC SCI 3A Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Modus Ponens, Falsifiability, Syllogism
Document Summary
Induction- probalistic, it only states that the conclusion is possible. Try to find evidence against your model; if you cant, then its true. Concluding that all apples are rotten based on one apple being rotten. Deduction- if the premises are true, the conclusion is true. If all apples are rotten, and i take an apple, it will be rotten. Syllogism takes two conditional statements and combines them to form a conclusion. Q is in major and minor so it"s the middle term. R is in major premise so its major term. P is in minor premise so its minor term.
