Philosophy Formal Logic Questions
The law of simplification, also known as the law of conjunction elimination, is a fundamental principle in formal logic. It states that if a conjunction (a statement formed by connecting two or more statements with the logical operator "and") is true, then each individual statement within the conjunction is also true. In other words, if A and B are both true, then A is true and B is true. This law allows for the simplification of complex statements by breaking them down into their individual components.
