M.J. Cresswell on Consequence - Dictionary of Arguments
I 38 Logical Consequence/Cresswell: crucial difference to the entailment: it combines forms of sentence or sentence schemes ((s) no content, not sentences). >Entailment, >Conditional, >Material conditional. It is not a question of which propositions are involved and what are the truth values of the individual sentences. Propositions, Truth value. Entailment: if all the worlds where p and q are true, are exactly those, where p is true, then that means in this particular case, that p entails p u q. >Possible worlds. That q follows from p intensionally. >Intensions. Logical consequence: but p u q is not a logical consequence of p, because there are ways to ascribe truth values to p and q that make p true, but p u q wrong. >Valuation._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
