Deductive reasoning

Validity (logic)

In logic, specifically in deductive reasoning, an argument is valid if and only if it takes a form that makes it impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion nevertheless to be false. It is not required for a valid argument to have premises that are actually true, but to have premises that, if they were true, would guarantee the truth of the argument's conclusion. Valid arguments must be clearly expressed by means of sentences called well-formed formulas (also called wffs or simply formulas). The validity of an argument can be tested, proved or disproved, and depends on its logical form. (Wikipedia).

Logic: The Structure of Reason

As a tool for characterizing rational thought, logic cuts across many philosophical disciplines and lies at the core of mathematics and computer science. Drawing on Aristotle’s Organon, Russell’s Principia Mathematica, and other central works, this program tracks the evolution of logic, be

Truth and Validity // Lesson 23 [INTRODUCTORY LOGIC]

The fact that truth and validity are different (though related) concepts is one of the most difficult ideas for logic students to grasp. A valid syllogism can contain false statements. And true statements can often be found in invalid syllogisms. But the two concepts are neither necessary

LambdaConf 2015 - Type Theory and its Meaning Explanations Jon Sterling

At the heart of intuitionistic type theory lies an intuitive semantics called the “meaning explanations." Crucially, when meaning explanations are taken as definitive for type theory, the core notion is no longer “proof” but “verification”. We’ll explore how type theories of this sort aris

VALIDITY and ENTAILMENT in Truth Trees for Predicate Logic - Logic

In this video on Logic, we look at entailment and validity in truth trees for predicate logic. We learn how to do negated universal decomposition, negated existential decomposition, universal elimination, and existential elimination. We then do three practice truth trees. 0:00 - [Validity

Logical Arguments - Modus Ponens & Modus Tollens

Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens are two logical argument forms. In either case, these have two premises and a conclusion. These argument forms are called valid, which means that if you accept the hypotheses, then it is valid to conclude the conclusion. This is distinct from having a sound a
