Logic 101 (#31): Constructive Dilemma

preview_player
Показать описание

Constructive dilemma is a logical rule of inference that says if P implies Q, R implies S, and P or R is true, then Q or S is true as well. Essentially, the constructive dilemma passes the disjunction through two conditional statements. For example, if the statements

"If I am running, I am happy."

and

"If I am sleeping, I am dreaming."

and

"I am running or sleeping."

are true, then it must also be true that I am happy or I am dreaming.

Dude you need to be a teacher! I'm taking symbolic logic, read about this in my text book several times, and I was totally lost. Then I watched your video for about 3 minutes, and I totally get it now. Seriously, your are a hero, like a philosophical superhero evil genius. Nice work, and thanks.
