Study Notes
Logical Fallacies
- False Cause and Effect: Assumes a sequential relationship implies causation, e.g., crime rate reduction post-martial law suggests its effectiveness.
- Appeal to the Popular: Claims a proposition is true based on widespread belief, e.g., belief in Quiboloy as the appointed Son of God.
- Fallacy of Composition and Division:
- Composition: Assuming what’s true for one part is true for the whole, e.g., viewing all activists as violent based on one protest.
- Division: Assuming what’s true for the whole applies to one part, e.g., a peaceful activist represents all protesters.
Framing and Biases
- Framing: Highlighting one aspect of an issue while ignoring others, e.g., emphasizing a surgery's 90% survival rate without mentioning mortality.
- Biases: Personal tendencies affecting views; cannot be completely avoided.
Conditional and Disjunction Statements
- A conditional statement (p→q) relates two events where the truth of one event implies the truth of another, e.g., “If it rains, then the ground will be wet.”
- A disjunction (pvq) presents mutually exclusive options, true if at least one option holds.
Biconditional Statements
- Biconditional: True if both statements are either true or false, indicated by ⟺.
