Sentence examples for conditional premises from inspiring English sources

Pointers was not the only important Avicennan text in later Arabic logic: post-Avicennan logicians mined the Cure's volume on the Prior Analytics for the syllogistic with conditional premises, a syllogistic which they modified perhaps even more than they modified Avicenna's modal syllogistic (see Khûnajî 2010: section 10; see also El-Rouayheb's Introduction, xlv xlviii).

Moreover, if the acceptability of a statement is defined as having a value greater than j for 0 < j < 1 and all the conditional premises of the Sorites Paradox do not fall below the value j, then modus ponens does not preserve acceptability, because the conclusion of the Sorites Argument, being evaluated as 0, is unacceptable.

Where Israel's covenant with God at Sinai had been conditional — it's premised on the observance of God's Torah [and] if there's violation, then God will uproot the Israelites and throw them out of the land — the covenant with David, by contrast, with his dynastic house (and by implication with David's city and the temple atop Mount Zion), that covenant will be maintained under all conditions.

Disjunctions or conditionals featured as premises in many of the logical paradoxes and sophisms which members of the Dialectical school discussed.

Thus the slow track quasi-realist will devote energy to showing how sentences taking the form of interjections (e.g., "Stealing: Boo!") may still function very much like antecedents of conditionals (and thus as premises of valid arguments).

Moreover, the premise of conditional cooperation would also lead us to expect that immediate neighbors would increase their contributions relative to the cover-seed condition.
