5: Arguments

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 5.1: Basic
    Studying the logic of individual statements is an important first step, but ultimately we will need to analyze how statements can be combined into an argument (mathematical, philosophical, political, or otherwise) that tries to convince others that some particular conclusion is true.
  • 5.2: Standard Arguments
    Modus ponens, Modus tollens, Law of syllogism
  • 5.3: Substituting into an argument
  • 5.4: Activities
