Find in docume 6.9a Exercise: LogiCola E (F&I) First appraise intuitively. Then pick out the conclusion, translate into logic, and determine validity using the truth-assignment test. Supply implicit premises if needed. Knowledge is good in itself only if it's desired for its own sake. So knowledge is good in itself, since it's desired for its sake. Invalid (G = D1) = 1 D1 = 1 :: G0 = 0 The conclusion is So knowledge is good in itsell":"G." Page 182 | 577 a + 8. The filter capacitor can't be blown. This is indicated by the following facts. You'd hear a hum, presuming that the silicon diodes work but the filter capacitor is blown. But you don't hear a hum. And the silicon diodes work. 15. If God is omnipotent, then he could make hatred inherently good - unless there's a contradiction in hatred being inherently good. But there's no contradic- tion in this. And God is omnipotent. I conclude that God could make hatred inher- ently good. [From William of Ockham, who saw morality as depending on God's will.] 16. Taking the exam is a sufficient condition for getting an A. You didn't take the exam. This means you don't get an A. 10. We have no moral knowledge. This is proved by the fact that if we did have moral knowledge then basic moral principles would be either provable or self- evident. But they aren't provable. And they aren't self-evident either. 21. Moral conclusions can be deduced from non-moral premises only if good is definable using non-moral predicates. But good isn't so definable. So moral conclusions can't be deduced from non-moral premises. Find in docume 6.9a Exercise: LogiCola E (F&I) First appraise intuitively.
