E.g. the inference from a premise of the form (P comprises R) and (Q comprises S) to a conclusion of the form (P v Q) comprising (R v S) is valid! >Validity. Natural kinds: Not a natural kind predicate is e.g. either friction or sunlight, because there is no law by friction or by sunlight either heat or photosynthesis are produced even if the individual disjuncts are laws. >Laws. Nevertheless: liberal reductionism: are amounts to a bracketing of individual disjunctions. Bridge statements: must be laws. From truth-functions follow no natural kinds, e.g. bumble bee or bat. >Bridge laws, >Truth functions, >Disjunction.}, note = { F/L Jerry Fodor Ernest Lepore Holism.
