Also, please state the S and P of that proposition.
 
 
DQ 2
 
. One of the fallacies of syllogistic reasoning, as stated in chapter 6, consists of violating the rule of "Distribute the middle term in at least one premise".

PHL 410 Week 5 DQS
 
 
DQ 1
 
1. Let us take the case of the example in section 9.4, page 349, where a formal proof of validity of a complex argument is given as follows (the special characters will not show up in this forum; so I am using "If - then" and "Therefore"):
 
If D then E
D · F
Therefore E
 
(In the above, the "dot" stands for "and").
 
 
This is similar to Modus Ponens, where the conclusion, E is the "then" part of the first premise, and it follows from the first and the second, if the second is true.
 
The second premise is a conjunction, which is true only if both of its components (called "conjuncts") are true.
 
So, one can use the rule of simplification on the second premise, and obtain D as true.
 
Now it has the format of Modus Ponens and is proven to be true.
 
The whole process is:
1. If D then E
2. D · F  /  Therefore, E
3. D (obtained from 2, by using Simplification)
4.  E (obtained from 1, 3, by Modus Ponens)
Give a concrete example of this complex argument.
 
 
DQ 2
 
. For the following formal argument, with the Indirect Proof of Validity, provide an example.
 
 
Read section 9.11 for this.
 
 
Formal argument:
 
If (G V H) then not-G
Therefore, not-G
