Introduction to Logic

Aristotle defined a syllogism as “discourse in which, certain things being stated something other than what is stated follows of necessity from their being so.” And, in fact, this intuition not only ...

Basic Concepts of Formal Logic
... 1) Given the Law of Non-Contradiction, every proposition of the form “P and not P” must be false. Such a proposition is said to be logically false because it is false by virtue of its logical form alone. In particular, its logical form is that of a contradiction, and, given the Law of Non-Contradict ...
