| dc.description.abstract | What justifies us in using deductive arguments? Not just the fact that they’re truth-preserving: some deep mathematical theorems preserve truth, but we can’t justifiably use them without first proving them. What else is needed? By focusing on the basic inference Modus Ponens, this thesis explores and rejects several accounts advanced by various philosophers. It concludes with an original proposal. | en_US |
