For the 4 arguments below, proceed as follows:
:BREAK DOWN THE ARGUMENT- Explicitly identify the component statements (p,q,r,etc)
that make up the argument and show the symbolic form of the argument.
:ANALYZE THE ARGUMENT- Decide whether the argument is valid or invalid by
manipulating the premises, if necessary, and eventually recognizing the logical form of the
argument (e.g Modus Ponens, Modus Tollens, Fallacy of the Inverse, etc)
1. “If we evolved a race of pure logicians, that would not be progress; but we have not evolved a
race of pure logicians; so that’s progress.”-
2. “Homer is a visionary or he’s a fool; but he’s certainly a fool; so he’s not a visionary.”
3. “If the fossil is an ammonite, then it is from the Crestaceous period. If the fossil is not from
the Mesozoic era, then it is not from the Crestaceous period. If the fossil is from the Mesozoic
era, then it is at least 65 million years old. Therefore, if the fossil is an ammonite, it is at least
65million years old.”
4. “Babies are illogical. Nobody is despised who can manage a crocodile. Illogical persons are
despised. Hence, babies cannot manage crocodiles.”
