That is , let us have this : Given the world as it is , or given any changes in it logically consistent with R and & and W , then if R and & then W. From these two things it follows-as from if A , then if B then C , and A , it follows that if B then C — that if R and C , then W.

To repeat , let us have the statement ( Y ) describing the actual events and conditions accompanying r and & in the world as it is , and the disjunctive statement ( K ) to the effect that the world is in one way or another otherwise , logically consistent with R and C , and W. Then our premisses and conclusion are as follows . |
