1.1 Basic Concepts: Arguments, Premises, & Conclusions

If anyone has any reservations about buying Hurley's textbook I would HIGHLY recommend buying it. It is one of the best textbooks I've ever owned. It is easy to read and is made crystal clear, even the more difficult chapters on modern formal logic. I never feel overwhelmed or lost. The examples are great and all the answers for the 12th edition and newer should be available online (Chegg).

"Captain" Spock?

What is the edition number of this book "An Introduction to Logic" by Patrick Hurley being used in these lectures ?

Thank you very much

Damn college teachers are lazy these days. Crazy.

So a premise and a conclusion are the same in that they state something about the reality, but different in that the conclusion can be inferred from the promises but not the other way around?
So we could take a premise, and make it a conclusion, and support with some new premises.
Although I don't know what could be a premise of 'all men are greek' because it is so axiomatic that any premise might sound tautological 🤪

Prime example of a modern-day Fallacy:
1) All Men can bear babies
2) Paul is a Man
3) All Babies are born from Men.
