Philosophy Formal Logic Questions
The law of commutation, also known as the law of interchange or the law of permutation, is a fundamental principle in formal logic. It states that for any two propositions, P and Q, the conjunction (P ∧ Q) is logically equivalent to the conjunction (Q ∧ P). In other words, the order of the propositions does not affect the truth value of the conjunction. This law can be symbolically represented as (P ∧ Q) ≡ (Q ∧ P).
