An argument is valid if and only if:
-
If the premises are true, then the conclusion must be true.
-
The premises are true and the conclusion is true.
-
If the conclusion is true, then the premises must be true.
-
The premises are true if and only if the conclusion is true.
-
If one of the premises in an argument is a tautology, then:
-
The argument must be valid, because any conclusion can follow from a tautology.
-
The argument must be invalid, because no valid argument can contain a tautology.
-
It might be valid, it might be invalid, we would need to know more about the argument.
-
If the conclusion of an argument is a contradiction, then:
-
The argument must be valid because anything follows from a contradiction.
-
The argument must be invalid because contradictions are always false.
-
It might be valid, it might be invalid, we would need to know more about the argument.
