Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is - Falsity is an attribute of an argument
Key Points
- Falsity is an attribute of an argument
- In logic, falsity is an attribute that applies to propositions, not to arguments.
- An argument is a set of propositions where some propositions (premises) are intended to support another proposition (conclusion).
- Arguments can be valid or invalid, but individual propositions within the argument can be true or false.
Additional Information
- Truth and Propositions
- Truth is a property of propositions or statements, meaning they accurately describe reality.
- A proposition is said to be true if it corresponds to the way things actually are.
- Validity and Arguments
- Validity is a property of arguments, indicating that if the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true.
- An argument is valid if the logical structure ensures that the conclusion follows necessarily from the premises.
- Invalidity and Arguments
- Invalidity is a property of arguments where the conclusion does not logically follow from the premises, even if the premises are true.
