In this assignment, you will explore and clarify the key concepts from Chapter 10 Moore & Parker Critical Thinking (2024 edition), “Deductive Arguments II,” which focuses on truth-functional logic. Begin by defining the main terms introduced in the chapter, such as truth-functional statements, connectives (including and, or, not, if…then), and truth tables. Provide examples of each connective and explain how truth tables are used to evaluate the truth value of complex statements. Next, summarize the chapter’s methods for testing the validity of arguments using truth tables and truth-functional methods, and discuss any strategies for identifying common logical forms like modus ponens, modus tollens, and disjunctive syllogism. Finally, choose one example from the chapter that illustrates a challenging or insightful concept, explaining how it deepened your understanding of truth-functional logic. This assignment should demonstrate a clear grasp of truth-functional reasoning, so focus on precision, detailed examples, and thoughtful reflection on the material.
