  • Logic

    Logic does not determine the truth or falsify of 202205061208#. It helps only link the separate pieces of information into a coherent whole. This means that in an 202205062050#, the conclusion could be true regardless of the content of the premises. If the reasoning resulted in a invalid argument, it is called a 202206172053#.

  • Denying The Antecedent

    Denying The Antecedent or Inverse Error is a #202206172053 where one draw their conclusion from premises by replacing the premise \(p \rightarrow q\) by its inverse. From 202205062055# we know that the inverse of the conditional statement is not logically equivalence# to itself. The following shows its form:

  • Argument

    Critical row means a row of truth table which all the premises are true. If the conclusion is true in every critical row, then we can say that the argument is valid. However, if it is false in one of the critical rows, then the conclusion is false, which implies the argument is invalid#.

  • Affirming The Consequent

    Affirming The Consequent or Converse Error is a kind of #202206172053 where one draw a conclusion from the premises as if it is conversed. As we can see in 202205062055#, the converse of the conditional statement is not logically equivalence# to itself. The form could be seen below:
