Quiz 1 Truth
properties and truth relations
Based in the theory of truth properties and true relations, explain the
relation between this two statement.
1. If John killed the bear, the bear died”
-The bear died.
2. John killed the bear and the bear still alive
- John Killed the bear.
These sentences have a relation because in the first
one said that might happen if john killed the bear, that it died, so it is true
and the sentence has a correct syntax and semantic. But the second one maybe is
false because if john killed the bear it is not possible it still alive, maybe
he tries to kill it, for that this sentence does not have semantic and
syntactic relation.
2 What do these statements entail?
-
The car is red: the car has a color.
-
The needle is too short. The person has a needle.
Which of these two sentences are true and which are false, and explain
why?
-
All people that are sick are people. It is true, so all people could be
sick.
- Every person is sick, but some person is not. It is false, there is a
contradiction, because first said that everybody is sick and then that someone
no.
