  • Indiscernible Logic: Using the Logical Fallacies of the Illicit Major Term and the Illicit Minor Term As Litigation Tools
    WLR_47-1_RICE (FINAL FORMAT) 10/28/2010 3:35:39 PM INDISCERNIBLE LOGIC: USING THE LOGICAL FALLACIES OF THE ILLICIT MAJOR TERM AND THE ILLICIT MINOR TERM AS LITIGATION TOOLS ∗ STEPHEN M. RICE I. INTRODUCTION Baseball, like litigation, is at once elegant in its simplicity and infinite in its complexities and variations. As a result of its complexities, baseball, like litigation, is subject to an infinite number of potential outcomes. Both baseball and litigation are complex systems, managed by specialized sets of rules. However, the results of baseball games, like the results of litigation, turn on a series of indiscernible, seemingly invisible, rules. These indiscernible rules are essential to success in baseball, in the same way the rules of philosophic logic are essential to success in litigation. This article will evaluate one of the philosophical rules of logic;1 demonstrate how it is easily violated without notice, resulting in a logical fallacy known as the Fallacy of the Illicit Major or Minor Term,2 chronicle how courts have identified this logical fallacy and used it to evaluate legal arguments;3 and describe how essential this rule and the fallacy that follows its breach is to essential effective advocacy. However, because many lawyers are unfamiliar with philosophical logic, or why it is important, this article begins with a story about a familiar subject that is, in many ways, like the rules of philosophic logic: the game of baseball. ∗ Stephen M.

The semantics of the modal syllogistic are interpreted in a way that is motivated by Aristotle, and also make his validity claims in the Prior Analytics consistent to a higher degree than previously developed interpretative models. In Chapter One, ancient and contemporary objections to the Aristotelian modal syllogistic are discussed. A resolution to apparent inconsistencies in Aristotle’s modal syllogistic is proposed and developed out of recent work by Patterson, Rini, and Malink. In particular, I argue that the semantics of negation is distinct in modal context from those of assertoric negative claims. Given my interpretive model of Aristotle’s semantics, in Chapter Two, I provide proofs for each of the mixed apodictic syllogisms, and propose a method of using Venn Diagrams to visualize the validity claims Aristotle makes in the Prior Analytics.

  • MATH 9: ALGEBRA: FALLACIES, INDUCTION 1. Quantifier Recap First, a Review of Quantifiers Introduced Last Week. Recall That
    MATH 9: ALGEBRA: FALLACIES, INDUCTION October 4, 2020 1. Quantifier Recap First, a review of quantifiers introduced last week. Recall that 9 is called the existential quantifier 8 is called the universal quantifier. We write the statement 8x(P (x)) to mean for all values of x, P (x) is true, and 9x(P (x)) to mean there is some value of x such that P (x) is true. Here P (x) is a predicate, as defined last week. Generalized De Morgan's Laws: :8x(P (x)) $ 9x(:P (x)) :9x(P (x)) $ 8x(:P (x)) Note that multiple quantifiers can be used in a statement. If we have a multivariable predicate like P (x; y), it is possible to write 9x9y(P (x; y)), which is identical to a nested statement, 9x(9y(P (x; y))). If it helps to understand this, you can realize that the statement 9y(P (x; y)) is a logical predicate in variable x. Note that, in general, the order of the quantifiers does matter. To negate a statement with multiple predicates, you can do as follows: :8x(9y(P (x; y))) = 9x(:9y(P (x; y))) = 9x(8y(:P (x; y))): 2. Negations :(A =) B) $ A ^ :B :(A $ B) = (:A $ B) = (A $ :B) = (A ⊕ B) Here I am using = to indicate logical equivalence, just because it is a little less ambiguous when the statements themselves contain the $ sign; ultimately, the meaning is the same. The ⊕ symbol is the xor logical relation, which means that exactly one of A, B is true, but not both.

Rice* I. INTRODUCTION: LOGIC’S QUIET, PERVASIVE ROLE IN ADVOCACY Trial lawyers love to design carefully constructed arguments. However, they do not always consider some of the most important details of persuasive advocacy—the logical structure of their arguments.1 While lawyers are well aware of their obligations to master and marshal the law and the facts in support of a client’s claim, they are generally not so intentional about mastering and marshaling the internal logic of the pleadings they design, briefs they write, or contracts and statutes they read or draft. In fact, many lawyers are surprised to learn that—in addition to the rules of law—there are rules of logic that ensure and test the integrity of legal argument.2 It is important to note that these rules of * Professor of Law, Liberty University School of Law. 1.

In other words, reasoning is used when you infer one claim on the basis of another. For example, if you see a great deal of snow falling from the sky outside your bedroom window one morning, you can reasonably conclude that it’s probably cold outside. Or, if you see a man smiling broadly, you can reasonably conclude that he is at least somewhat happy.

To help avoid common errors we set forth rules—six of them—to guide the reasoner; any given standard-form syllogism can be evaluated by observing whether any one of these rules has been violated. Mastering the rules by which syllogisms may be evaluated also enriches our understanding of the syllogism itself; it helps us to see how syllogisms work, and to see why they fail to work if the rules are broken.
