Outline for paper 1
- Introduction
- provide a definition for soundness
- provide a definition for validity
- explain why many people have a tendency to equate true arguments with sound arguments and invalid arguments with false arguments
- explain that you will be contrasting the notions of truth and validity in terms of the following two arguments
- Main body
- argument
1
- put the argument in standard logical form. Provide an instance or dictionary as well
- prove that the argument is valid or invalid
- explain why each statement is false
- argument
1
- premise 1: explain why this is false
- premise 2; explain why this is false
- conclusion: explain why this is false
- argument
2
- put
the argument in standard logical form. Provide an instance or dictionary as
well
- prove that the argument is valid or invalid
- explain why each statement is true
- put
the argument in standard logical form. Provide an instance or dictionary as
well
- premise 1; why is this true
- premise 2: why is this true
- conclusion: why is this true
- conclusion
Is either argument sound? How does each argument violate the requirements for soundness.
