De Morgan's law
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: enpr: dēmôrʹgĭnz.lô'
ipa: /dɨˈmɔɹɡɪnzˌlɔ/
Forms: form: De Morgan's laws
form: DM
Etymology: Named after the British mathematician and logician Augustus De Morgan (1806–1871), who first formulated the laws in formal propositional logic.
Senses: examples: text: Let ‘F’ stand for the state of affairs that consists in finite persons possessing and exercising free will. Let ‘p’ stand for ‘God exists’; ‘q’ for ‘F obtains’; ‘r’ for ‘F poses a serious risk of evil’; and ‘s’ for ‘There is no option available to God that counters F.’ With this in place, the argument may be formalized as follows:
(1) [(p & q) & r] → s Premiss
(2) ~s Premiss
(3) ~[(p & q) & r] 1, 2 MT
(4) ~(p & q) v ~r 3 DM
(5) r Premiss
(6) ~(p & q) 4, 5 DS
(7) ~p v ~q 6 DM
(3) follows from the conjunction of (1) and (2) by modus tollens; De Morgan’s law applied to (3) yields (4); (4) and (5) together lead to (6) by disjunctive syllogism; and another application of De Morgan’s law takes us from (6) to the final conclusion, according to which either God exists or there is free will (but not both).
