Presentation: "Truth Tables – Validity vs. Soundness"
This PowerPoint Presentation contains a large number of slides, a good many of which are nearly identical. If you print
this Presentation, I recommend six or nine slides per page.
Homework1. Study Allen/Hand Logic Primer– Sec. 1.1, p. 2: “soundness”– Sec. 2.2, p. 45, “incompatible premises”
2. Ex. 2.2: i-xii
VALIDITY vs. SOUNDNESSP & Q, ~P ⊢ R
Validity: An argument is valid if and only if:• if all of its premises are true• its conclusion is true.
Corollary: It is impossible for a valid argument to have:• all true premises• false conclusion
Validity vs. Soundness
Valid Argument• No invalidating
assignment
Criteria of a Sound Argument1. argument is valid
and
2. all premises are True.
Valid but Unsound no invalidating
assignment not all premises true
Invalidating Assignment (1) conclusion is False (2) all premises are True

Validity vs. Soundness
Valid Argument• Impossible for
conclusion to be False and all premises True
Sound Argument• An argument is sound if
and only if it is valid and all its premises are true.
Valid but Unsound
No invalidating assignment
Not all premises true

1. atomic statements2. negations of atomics
3. inside parentheses4. negation of the parentheses
5. any remaining connectives
