Hi Hurkyl,
I will take the time to take a step back and apologize about what you feel to be an ad hominem attack. I will change my tone and mood to something more appropriate. So I ask for forgiveness if I made a mistake.
An ad hominem attack is when a person dismisses an...
Hi Hurkyl,
Another math or science major, huh. You are on the same drugs as Honestrosewater about some of your points and like Honestrosewater you are empty handed. Let me address your mistakes now.
Well like your predecessor, you believe that there are billions of deductive systems...
Hi again Honestrosewater,
You must be a science major or math major, huh? Once again, you are in your own world. I had the decency of listing two sources and listing the rules themselves. I had the decency to come to the table with something other than JUST WORDS like you have done...
Hi honestrosewater,
I gave the titles of two published books. I also listed the rules. You want proof? I provided some. You have the burden of proof to show that I am mistaken. Is not like I made that stuff up.
Mathematical Induction is not "LOGIC", but a system of math found in the...
There are about 21 formal rules of deduction. See Irving Copi's book "SYMBOLIC LOGIC" and Irving Copi and Carl Cohen's Book "Introduction to Deductive Logic". Induction doesn't count because that is just another way of saying scientific method. Deductive logic is a logic of certainty, whereas...
You must be kidding! Dude, you have not proven there to be any paradoxes with DEDUCTION. You simply don't know enough. You are confused. You erroneously beieve you accepting the premises has something to do with OBJECTIVE truth. You wrote: "Now, you would wish to use deductive logic to show...
I am new here and I bet not a single person who has posted here has taken more than a year of LOGIC. Has anyone taken any LOGIC classes with a professional instructor? This does not include those of you who appear to me to be self taught. According to most of you LOGIC is wishy washy. That...
