A Suggested Conditional Modus Ponens

International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, 1997
In this paper, in view of some paradoxical situations encountered in applying the Modus Ponens to Inference procedures in rule-based systems, we propose a new approach to perform the generalized Modus Ponens of Zadeh. Specifically, truth evaluations of conditional fuzzy information will be defined and used in Modus Ponens, opening the way to a ...

Modus Ponens, Modus Tollens, and Likeness

1998
Modus Ponens (MP) and Modus Tollens (MT) are taught as basic rules of inference related to conditional statements in introductory logic courses. In ordinary reasoning, MP and MT can have important roles in modes of argumentation. However, one can also distinguish counter-examples to such reasoning patterns when considered as ‘strictly’ valid rules (i.e.

Modus Ponens and Moral Realism

Ethics, 1988
Moral realism holds that our moral judgments are "about the world" in much the way our other judgments are. Antirealists deny this, holding that in making moral judgments we are projecting our own attitudes onto things, or expressing these attitudes, or the like.

Modus ponens conjunctivus

Background:The Modus Ponens Conjunctivus (MPC) is a relatively underexplored yet conceptually robust inference rule in propositional logic which is of great epistemological relevance in empirical sciences --- particularly in medicine and epidemiology.Material and methods:To demonstrate the logical background of MPC, we re--evaluated this inference rule

Modus ponens disjunctivus

Background:The Modus Ponens Disjunctivus (MPD), a lesser--known but powerful inference rule in propositional logic, has gained renewed attention for its epistemological potential in empirical sciences, including medicine and epidemiology.Material and methods: Data from PubMed--indexed studies were re--evaluated to illustrate MPD.

Modus Ponens and Existence Updating

1998
Classical logic attaches great importance to the ‘Law of Detachment’ or ‘modus ponens’ in connection with inferences (see, e.g., Kleene [57, p. 34] or Suppes [83, sect. 2.3]). This chapter deals therefore in some detail with such inferences as a special case of ‘generalized modus ponens updating’ defined in definition 13.3.1.
