Worldview Logical Form

Worldview Logical Form

Having different views is a common phenomenon in human interactions. These contrasting views are also illustrated in the different worldviews. For instance, the existence of a higher being differs from one person to the next. Believing in the existence of a higher being creates room for the conceptualization of these beings, such as God. I believe there exists a God.

Central Position: God exists.

Logical Form:

1. A
2. B

Therefore, C

This is illustrated as;

Premise 1:      Higher beings exist (A)

Premise 2:      God is a higher being (B)

Conclusion:    Therefore, God exists (C)

Applying the Conditional Proposition, If…then presents a logical form that presents an argument that if A is present, then B is also present (Copi et al., 2016).

If higher beings exist, then God exists.

An alternative argument: God does not exist

Premise 1:      Higher beings do not imply divine beings (A)

Premise 2:      God is a higher being (B)

Conclusion:    Therefore, God does not exist (C)

Applying the Conjunction Proposition (A . B ), A and B present a logical form that argues that A and B are present (Copi et al., 2016).

If Higher beings do not imply divine beings and God is a higher being; therefore, God does not exist.

This conclusion implies that higher beings do not exist; thus, God does not exist. However, I keep my view because before concluding nonexistence, the premises imply existence to which a factor is considered to nullify the existence.

Think about your own worldview, what it consists of, and the way you think about the world and other persons: what exists (God or not), the nature of man (good or evil), or our ability to know or not. Now, identify a central position to your worldview and write out the logical form of your position. Write out an alternative argument from another worldview and explain why you keep your view.
