Logic questions about standard form?
This cat is non-toxic.
Now it has to be changed into standard form which is either:
All S are P
Some S are P
No S is P
Some S are not P
What would I take “this” to me? Would it mean some? Or all?
Another quick question. In the case of the proposition:
“Nobody loves me”
How would I go about wording that in standard form? These are a couple of things my book doesn’t explain and I’m trying to figure out the answer.
Favorite Answer
“This cat is non-toxic”
could be translated to:
All animals identical to this cat are animals that are non-toxic.
or
No animals identical to this cat are animals that are toxic.
“Nobody loves me”
could be translated to:
No persons are persons who love me.
or
All persons identical to me are persons that are not loved by anybody.
Second one could be said in two forms also! Either U take nobody as ur subject, and say All nobody loves me, or U could reform it into: No body (S) loves me (P.) Now if u want to put it in real logical forms, they’d be something like:
All cats that are here (or use another adjective depending on wat this refers to) (s) are toxic (P.)
All people (S) don’t love me (P.)
