EVALUATING INDUCTIVE ARGUMENTS
... Since the quality of the support for the conclusion of an inductive argument is based upon the quality of the sample, the strength of the argument is based on how well the sample represents the group referred to in the conclusion. For example, for an argument about students who do well in logic to b ...

... The occurrence of a sentence φ with no sentence above it is an assumption. An assumption of φ is a proof of φ. This may seem odd. Suppose I assume, the following: ∃x∃y(Rxy ∨ P ) By the rule, this counts as a proof of ∃x∃y(Rxy ∨ P ) But it is not an outright proof of ∃x∃y(Rxy ∨ P ) This proof does no ...

... In POS standard form, every variable in the domain must appear in each sum term of the expression. You can expand a nonstandard POS expression to standard form by adding the product of the missing variable and its complement and applying rule 12, which states that (A + B)(A + C) = A + BC. Convert X ...

Still, we should not necessarily follow Kant on the basis of first-order logic. Formal systems can be constructed with all sorts of properties. W ...
