Any contradiction that leads to a contradiction is false.
A→ (B v C)/C→ (D&E)/D v E // A →E
Assume the argument is invalid (true premises, false conclusions)
Contradiction = argument is valid
No contradiction = Argument as assumed is invalid
Analogy, Legal and moral Reasoning
Principles:
1. The relevance of similarities
2. Number of similarities
3. The nature of the degree of disanology
4. The number of primary analogues
a. + primary analogues, the more the argument strengthens
5. Diversity among primary analogues
a. + diverse the primary analogues are, the stronger the argument
6. The specificity of the conclusion
a. The more specific the conclusion, the weaker the argument.
