About the useage of premise in discourse and logic A premise is a statement that an argument claims will induce or justify a conclusion. ref Argument a sequence of statements such that some of them the premises purport to give reasons to accept another of them, the conclusion The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy, 2nd Edition Cambridge University Press , editor Robert Audi, 43. ref In other words a premise is an assumption that something is true. In logic , an argument requires a Set mathematics set of two declarative Sentence mathematical logic sentences or Proposition propositions known as the premises along with another declarative sentence or proposition known as the Logical consequence conclusion . This structure of two premises and one conclusion forms the basic argumentative structure. More complex arguments can utilize a series of rules to connect several premises to one conclusion, or to derive a number of conclusions from the original premises which then act as premises for additional conclusions. An example of this is the use of the rules of inference found within symbolic logic . Aristotle held that any logical argument could be reduced to two premises and a conclusion. ref p216, Jan Gullberg , Mathematics from the birth of numbers, W. W. Norton & Company ISBN 039304002X ISBN 978 0393040029 ref Premises are sometimes left unstated in which case they are called missing premises, for example Socrates is mortal, since all men are mortal. It is evident that a tacitly understood claim is that Socrates is a man. The fully expressed reasoning is thus Since all men are mortal and Socrates is a man, Socrates is mortal. In this example, the first two independent Clause logic clauses preceding the comma namely, all men are mortal and Socrates is a man are the premises, while Socrates is mortal is the conclusion.

Original research date January 2012 A co premise is a premise in reasoning and informal logic which is not the main supporting reason for a main contention contention or a Lemma logic lemma , but is logically necessary to ensure the validity of an argument . One premise by itself, or a group of co premises can form a reason. Logical structure Every significant term or phrase appearing in a premise of a simple argument , should also appear in the contention conclusion or in a co premise. But this by itself does not guarantee a valid argument, see the fallacy of the undistributed middle for an example of this. Sometimes a co premise will not be explicitly stated. This type of argument is known as an enthymematic argument, and the co premise may be referred to as a hidden or an unstated co premise and will often be subject to an inference objection . In this argument map of a simple argument the two reasons for the main contention are co premises and not separate reasons for believing the contention to be true. They are both necessary to ensure that the argument as a whole retains logical validity. Image What the Bible says.jpg left In this example, What the Bible says is true is a hidden co premise.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A false premise is an incorrect proposition that forms the basis of a logical syllogism . Since the premise proposition, or assumption is not correct, the conclusion drawn may be in error. However, the validity logical validity of an argument is a function of its internal consistency, not the truth value of its premises. For example, consider this syllogism, which involves an obvious false premise If the streets are wet, it has rained recently. premise The streets are wet. premise Therefore it has rained recently. conclusion This argument is logically valid, but quite demonstrably wrong, because its first premise is false one could hose down the streets, the local river could have flooded, etc. A simple deductive system logical analysis will not reveal the error in this argument, since that analysis must accept the truth of the argument s premises. For this reason, an argument based on false premises can be much more difficult to falsifiability refute , or even discuss, than one featuring a normal logical error, as the truth of its premises must be established to the satisfaction of all parties. Another feature of an argument based on false premises that can bedevil critics, is that its conclusion can in fact be true. Consider the above example again. It may well be that it has recently rained, and that the streets are wet. This of course does nothing to prove the first premise, but can make its claims more difficult to refute. This underlies the basic epistemology epistemological problem of establishing causal relationships . A false premise can also be a premise that is poorly or incompletely defined so as to make the conclusion questionable.

In proof theory and constructive mathematics , the principle of independence of premise states that if &phi and &exist x &theta are sentences in a formal theory and nowrap 1 &phi &rarr &exist x &theta is provable, then nowrap 1 &exist x &phi &rarr &theta is provable. Here x cannot be a free variable of &phi . The principle is valid in classical logic. Its main application is in the study of intuitionistic logic, where the principle is not always valid. In classical logic The principle of independence of premise is valid in classical logic because of the law of the excluded middle . Assume that nowrap 1 &phi &rarr &exist x &theta is provable. Then, if &phi holds, there is an x satisfying &phi but if &phi does not hold then any x satisfies span class nowrap &phi &rarr &theta span . In either case, there is some x such that &phi &rarr &theta . Thus nowrap 1 &exist x &phi &rarr &theta is provable. In intuitionistic logic The principle of independence of premise is not generally valid in intuitionistic logic Avigad and Feferman 1999 . This can illustrated the BHK interpretation , which says that in order to prove nowrap 1 &phi &rarr &exist x &theta intuitionistically, one must create a function that takes a proof of &phi and returns a proof of nowrap &exist x &theta . Here the proof itself is an input to the function and may be used to construct x . On the other hand, a proof of nowrap 1 &exist x &phi &rarr &theta must first demonstrate a particular x , and then provide a function that converts a proof of &phi into a proof of &theta in which x has that particular value. As a weak counterexample , suppose &theta x is some decidable predicate of a natural number such that it is not known whether any x satisfies &theta . For example, &theta may say that x is a formal proof of some mathematical conjecture whose provability is not known. Let &phi the formula nowrap 1 &exist z &theta z . Then nowrap 1 &phi &rarr &exist x &theta is trivially provable. However, to prove nowrap 1 ... more details

It is a branch of custom media , a product that broadly shares the look and feel of a newsstand or consumer magazine but is paid for in part or whole by a business.
