Bernard Bolzano on Compatibility - Dictionary of Arguments

Berka I 18
Compatibility/Bolzano: if we say that certain sentences A, B, C ... (premisses) and M, N, O ... (conclusions) are in the ratio of compatibility, and that with respect to ideas i,j,... then this means that there are certain ideas that turn all these sentences into true ones.
Whether there are other ideas that only make some of these sentences true has nothing to do with it. (1)
