Premise

that it’s logically impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion false. The support for my argument is as follows: Premise 1: This is true because the act of providing for your family involves the purchase of foods from various sources. Premise 2: Providing for your family is an act of maximizing happiness and is therefore supported by Act-Utilitarianism which states one can maximize happiness while taking into consideration of those involved. Premise 3: According to…

that guns are never a better choice which is not true because there are always exceptions to blanket claims like that. Guns can protect you and because of that Premise #4 without evidence is almost attacking gun owners saying they are either negligent or mentally unstable to the point of potentially killing themselves or others. Premise #5 is unfair to gun owners because he basically says their fund will be stollen and used by criminals. Logical fallacies Slippery slope: The statement that…

Next, by premise two, if we do disapprove of lying, then by our attitude in the first premise, we must also disapprove of getting your little brother to lie. Because this last attitude of disapproval is our conclusion, then we have demonstrated how the conclusion is inferred from the first and second premises, therefore having modus ponens-like reasoning without referring to logical conditionals. For Blackburn…

classroom is partially false. He explains that the truth behind this reasoning for both the faculty member and the student is that actual learning and experience is acquired inside of the classroom.

Accepting Descartes claim as true, we can then say that since the idea of God has infinite objective reality, then this idea could not have come from Descartes and must have come from God himself. Therefore, God exists. Now that we have outlined the premises of Descartes argument in the Third Meditation, we can construct his proof as follows: A) I have a clear and distinct perception of God in which God has infinite objective reality. B) The cause of an idea must have at least as much formal…

argument can be shown by attacking the third premise. An action might not be determined by only a single motive. In many instances when trying to pick between two options we weight out the pros and cons of each options and then make a decision. Meaning that in order to determine our actions we might consider more than one motive. So, an action can be born out of a conjunction of motives rather than by only one. Therefore, it can be said that the third premise…

Since style in material culture indicates identity and allows negotiation of social relations (Ramsden 2016:15). o this premise is true but I do not see how it produces the conclusion that, hybrid ceramic style is a way of creating a hybrid identity and therefore it is irrelevant to the conclusion. There is no direct connection between the premise and the conclusion thus the premise is unacceptable. Lastly, Gibbon’s last criteria is, ‘is there an exception to the generalization?’ in Ramsden…

understanding the implied premise as it applied to using the Toulmin model in deductive reasoning. I have always had a basic understanding of the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning. I never dug much further into the process of deductive reasoning or how I might structure it in a way that would help assure that my beliefs are grounded in truth. Initially, I found the textbook definition of deductive reasoning…

perfection; existence is superior to non-existence. Once these two premises are accepted, the only logical conclusion can be that God exists, as God is the most superior being in every way. To believe that God could just be a being that exists only in our minds would be a misunderstanding of the definition of God. This is not an argument that has persuaded many of the…

main premises on what we should do when it comes to assisting the global poor and these principles should be applied into our lives. There are two theories which he uses which are the strong and weak premises in which are guides of some sorts of what she we do to assist the global poor. There are concerns about Singer’s theory due to way he approaches his premises and he may at times be implementing to many harsh requirements for an individual to follow completely due to the ways each premises…
