(is the world really what i think it is?)
Anotações:
Aristotle: rationality is the distinguishing characteristic which sets us apart from the beasts.
Plato: tripartite soul: our psyche is divided into three parts:
rational/logical: seeking truth and is swayed my arguments and facts
spirited/ emotional: how feelings fuel your emotions
appetitive/ physical desires: hunger, defense etc
how to argue (lol)
deductive argument: premises that lead to a conclusion
true premises, false conclusion
premise 1: Cats are mammals
premise 2: i am a mammal

all cats are mammals however not all mammals are cats. cats
are just a subset of mammals and so are humans. those two
elements do not intersect
true premises, true conclusion (valid)
premise 1: All humans are mortal
premise 2: I am human
conclusion: I am mortal
false premises, false conculsion
premise 1: all humans have wings
premise 2: i am human
conclusion: i have wings
false premises, true conclusion
premise 1: president of USA must be above 35 years old
premise 2: my dad is the president of the USA.
conclusion: my dad is above 35 years old
true premises, true conclusion (invalid)
