This category contains pages concerning Affirming the Consequent:
Let $p \implies q$ be a conditional statement.
Let its consequent $q$ be true.
Then it is a fallacy to assert that the antecedent $p$ is also necessarily true.
That is:
| \(\ds p\) | \(\implies\) | \(\ds q\) | ||||||||||||
| \(\ds q\) | \(\) | \(\ds \) | ||||||||||||
| \(\ds \not \vdash \ \ \) | \(\ds p\) | \(\) | \(\ds \) |
This fallacy is called affirming the consequent.
