truth-functional logic
Truth-functional logic is a branch of logic that evaluates the truth of statements based on the truth values of their components. In this framework, a compound statement is considered true or false solely depending on the truth values of its individual parts. For example, in the statement "If A is true, then B is true," the truth of B relies entirely on the truth of A. This logical approach underpins many aspects of reasoning and argumentation, serving as a foundation for more complex logical systems and helping us understand how different statements relate to each other in terms of truth.
