Topic: equivalence of proposition

Directions: Construct the proposition asked for
CONVERSE THE OBVERSE OF THE CONTRADICTORY OF:
" ALL PROPHETS ARE INTUITIVE "

Answer 18

What is the converse of the obverse of the contradictory of "All prophets are intuitive"?

Answer 19

Wow, that is sure a lot of attachments, lol

Answer 20

Yeah

Answer 21

I don't understand what's being asked

Answer 22

You need to move backwards on this.
A statement and it's contradictory cannot both by true.
The contradictory of "All prophets are intuitive." would be "No prophets are intuitive."

The obverse of a statement replaces the predicate term of the proposition with its complement and reverses the quality of the proposition.
The obverse of "No prophets are intuitive." would be "All prophets are non-intuitive."

To write a converse proposition, put the predicate term of the original proposition in the subject place of the new proposition and the subject term of the original in the predicate place of the new. Or just switch places with the predicate term and subject term.
The converse of "All prophets are non-intuitive." would be "All non-intuitives are prophets."

Answer 23

Nice one, wwhit. :)

Answer 24

@wwhitlock
My logic professor checked our answers and i got it wrong

His answer is "SOME NON-INTUITIVE ARE PROPHETS"
Could someone please explain to me STEP BY STEP how did it become like that?

Answer 25

By the way my professor is a doctor in philosophy...
SO i cant just contradict with his answer

Answer 26

The contradictory of "All prophets are intuitive." would be "No prophets are intuitive."
\(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
For contradictions, one must be true and one must be false. They can't be both true or both false.

Answer 27

by his, i meant my professor

Answer 28

let me requote it.

my professor's answer to the statement: CONVERSE THE OBVERSE OF THE CONTRADICTORY OF: "ALL PROPHETS ARE INTUITIVE"

my professor's answer is "SOME NON-INTUITIVE ARE PROPHETS"

Answer 29

but you have to follow a series of steps which makes the final answer weird but still try

this subject is soooo hard
i might fail

Answer 30

CONVERSE THE OBVERSE OF THE CONTRADICTORY OF:

ALL PROPHETS ARE INTUITIVE

Okay we start with:
All prophets are intuitive.

The contradiction of All S are P is Some S aren't P
The obverse of Some S aren't P is Some S are nonP
The converse of Some S are nonP is Some nonP are S

So, we have Some non-intuitive (people) are prophets

Answer 31

oh i see
yey!

finally someone has gave me a reasonable and correct answer :)

Answer 32

Looks like I didn't follow the rule all the way on the third step. I'm glad you were able to have it explained to you.

Answer 33

that's fine @wwhitlock
