Logical Arguments

Logical arguments in propositional logic involve statements that can be either true or false. These statements, called propositions, are combined using logical connectors like "and," "or," and "not" to form complex statements. An argument consists of premises (the statements we assume to be true) and a conclusion (what we infer from those premises). The aim is to show that if the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true. Logical reasoning ensures that our conclusions are valid based on the relationships between these propositions, helping us make sound decisions and understand reasoning patterns.
