logical validity

Logical validity refers to whether the structure of an argument guarantees its conclusion is true, assuming all its premises are true. If an argument is valid, then if the premises are correct, the conclusion must also be correct. Validity is about the form or logical connection between statements, not whether those statements are actually true in reality. In short, a valid argument cannot have true premises and a false conclusion. It's a measure of the argument's logical coherence, ensuring that the conclusion logically follows from the premises.
