Deduction, Daniel Bonevac, Blackwell 2003, 7.3 problem 19
I have first established that the argument is valid by means of a truth tree. The deduction follows. On line 8 'z' gets instantiated by UI to 'x', which we are within the rules to do.- (x)(y)(z)[(Fxy • Fyz) ⊃Fxz]
- ¬ (∃x)Fxx
- ∴(x)(y)(Fxy ⊃¬ Fyx)
- (x) ¬ Fxx / 2CQ
- ¬ Fxx / 4UI
- (y)(z)[(Fxy • Fyz) ⊃Fxz] / 1UI
- (z)[(Fxy • Fyz) ⊃Fxz] / 6UI
- (Fxy • Fyx) ⊃Fxx / 7UI
- ¬ (Fxy • Fyx) / 5,8MT
- ¬ Fxy ∨¬ Fyx / 9DeM
- * Fxy / ACP
- * ¬ Fyx / 11,10DS
- Fxy ⊃¬ Fyx / 11-12CP
- (y)(Fxy ⊃¬ Fyx) / 13UG
- (x)(y)(Fxy ⊃¬ Fyx) / 14UG
