The 10 Primitive Rules

• You should have the following in hand:– “The Rules” Handout• See bottom of handout

“P -> R” is not in the premises. Hence, we have to make it.

Strategy to make an ->I: 1) Assume the antecedent of conclusion 2) Solve for the consequent (i.e., as a conclusion) 3) Apply ->I rule to generate the conditional

Strategy to make an ->I: 1) Assume the antecedent of conclusion 2) Solve for the consequent (i.e., as a conclusion) 3) Apply ->I rule to generate the conditional

(1) What kind of statement is “R” (the consequent)?

(2) Where is it located in premises?

Step 2(often more than one line)

Read the problem properly!

Page 33: Introductory Logic PHI 120

The Key to RAA

– If the proof contains incompatible premises, you are allowed to deny any assumption within the proof.

m, n RAA(k)

Premises: denials of one another

Conclusion: will be the denial of some assumption (k)

Denials

The Two Questions

Page 89: Introductory Logic PHI 120

Any kind of wff(will be the consequent)

Any kind of wff(will be the antecedent)

must be an assumption

n ->I(m)

m,n RAA(k)

Premises: denials of one another

Conclusion: will be the denial of assumption: k
