Basic elements
a.) ANTECEDENT the given proposition from which something is inferred it
come from the Latin word Antecedo which mean that which comes before
b.) CONSEQUENT the last or resultant proposition
It comes from the Latin word Consequence which means that which come
after consequent is also called the CONCLUSION
c.) The SEQUENCE the only element of the inference that is not proposition but
an assertive conjunction that connects the ANTECEDENT(S) and
CONSEQUENT Sequence usually used are the following THERFORE, THUE ,
ERGO , ACCORDINGLY , NEVERTHELESS and so on.
IMMEDIATE INFERENCE
An argument with one ANTECEDENT and one consequent
ANTECEDENT
INFERENCE
SEQUENCE
CONSEQUENT
PATTERN
Every A, is B
we follow comprehension (Antecedent) Going
down &
Therefore some B is A extension (Consequent) from the big one to small
one
Example
Every Dog is an animal
Therefore some animal is dog
(sequence)
MEDIATE INFERENCE
VALIDITY OF SEQUENCE
If the sequence flow form the form of the argument then the argument
is said to be FORMAL and is FORMALY CORRECT or FORMALY VALID
If the sequence flow from the especial aspect of the character content,
then the argument is said to be MATERIAL and is MATERIALY CORRECT or
MATERIALLY VALID
Example of what argument of what inference
All triangle is a plane with three sides
Formally Valid
Therefore some plane with three side is a triangle
(Formally Valid/Materially Invalid)
All triangle is a plane with three sides
Therefore every plane with three side is a triangle
(Formally Invalid/Materially Valid)
extension (Consequent) use some for formally valid (used
