Question 1 2 out of 2 points
Place the following proposition in Standard Categorical Form (e.g., S = "Students", P =
"People", "All S are P") and match it with one of the five given standard forms.
Proposition: Only brave people are soldiers.
Selected Answer: S = "Soldiers", P = "Brave people"
All S are P
Answers: S = "Brave people", P = "Soldiers"
Some S are P
S = "Brave people", P = "Soldiers"
All S are P
S = "Brave people", P = "Soldiers"
Some S are not P
S = "Soldiers", P = "Brave people"
All S are P
S = "Brave people", P = "Soldiers"
No S are P
Response First, we can paraphrase (in an equivalent way) the sentence a bit, to make it
Feedback: more formal: "ONLY IF you're a brave person, THEN you're a soldier".
Second, remembering that "IF P THEN Q" is logically equivalent to "ONLY IF Q
THEN P", we paraphrase it further, geting rid of "ONLY" (but not forgetting to
switch the antecedent with the consequent): "IF you’re a soldier THEN you’re a
brave person".
Third, remembering that the propositional "If A then B" (where A and B are
propositions, i.e., fullfledged sentences which are, by themselves, either true
or false) can be translated into a categorical sentence "All S are P" (where S
and P are not propositions, but referring terms designating the corresponding
sets of objects), we get a categorical translation: "All S are P", where S =
"Soldiers", and P = "Brave people".
To repeat once again, compare the two symbolyzations of the same English
sentence "Only brave people are soldiers", the first one being within the
propositional logic, the second within the categorical logic:
Propositional logic: "If A then B", where A = "You are a soldier", B = "You
are a brave person".
Categorical logic: "All S are P", where S = "Soldiers", and P = "Brave people".
