Now who you think put that there?

...successor to Aristotle...

[philman_36]

Peripatetic schoolThe school was originally, perhaps always, a collection of people rather than a building: Aristotle, a non-Athenian with the status of metic, could not own property. His successor Theophrastus could and did, and he bequeathed real estate and a library to a group of his students, including Straton (1) who was then elected Head.

h/t to Larry - Moe and Curly (and maybe others) for catching this. (STOLLEN / MODUS TOLLENS)

The argument in the meme is INCORRECT.

It says that if P is false, then Q is false. Not so.

The correct logic says that if Q is false, then P is also false.

Example:

P = it is sunny.
Q = I go to the beach.

(If P, then Q.) If it is sunny I go to the beach.

(If Q is false, then P is also false.) This means that it is true that if I did not go to the beach, then it was not sunny.

It is NOT (necessarily true) that if it is not sunny I did not go to the beach. Because the original statement says nothing about what I might do if it is not sunny. Perhaps on some non-sunny days I go to the beach on on some I don’t. It only asserts that I’m for sure at the beach if it’s sunny.
