Modus Ponens

DescriptionIf X is true then Y is true. X is true. Therefore Y is true. ExampleIf you repent, you will go to heaven. You have repented. So you will go to heaven. If you buy today, I will give you a 10% discount. You have agreed to buy today, so I will reduce the price by 10%. DiscussionModus Ponens is a fancy name for a simple thing, although it is at the root of most Syllogisms and many other conditional arguments and offers. If you want another fancy name: this is Affirming the Antecedent, where X is the antecedent which is affirmed as true.
