Study Notes
Rules of Inference in Building Arguments
-
Rules of inference are used to construct arguments by drawing conclusions from premises.
-
These rules provide a systematic way to determine whether a conclusion logically follows from a set of premises.
Example 1 Analysis
-
The conclusion that can be drawn from the premises in Example 1 is dependent on the specific premises given.
-
The proposition represented by the variable 'q' in Example 1 must also be specified to understand the conclusion.
-
The purpose of using rules of inference in constructing arguments is to establish the validity and soundness of the argument.
-
Example 1 illustrates that analyzing arguments in English requires identifying premises, conclusions, and the specific rules of inference being employed.
