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.

Question 


Worldview Logical Form

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.
