I 256 Assertion/modus ponens/Ryle: "code style": misleading that p does not have to be asserted! - E.g. "if p, then q; but p, therefore q". Conditional/Ryle: Thesis: antecedent and consequent are no assertions. >Antecedent/consequent. Statements are neither needed nor mentioned in conditionals. >Conditional, >Statement. Ryle: here, the conditional is not a premise that coordinates with "p" as the "code style" suggests, but rather an "inference ticket", a "license for the inference": "p, therefore q". >Logical connectives, >Inference, cf. >Implication, >Conclusion. Solution/Geach: it is about propositions, not assertions. >Propositions._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
