| Premises: premises are assumptions within logical conclusions. From them follows a conclusion. Premises are written in a separate line. This makes them different from implications written in one line that contain an antecedent with one or more conditions and a post-sentence. See also syllogisms._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

Hennig Genz on Premises - Dictionary of Arguments
II 322 Ex falso quodlibet/EFQ/Genz: Ex falso quodlibet (EFQ) can be used for false "proof": E.g."If 2+2=5, then 2+3=6." EFQ/Genz: EFQ is correct because the conclusion is maintained if we take away the false premise. This is because it does not depend on the validity or invalidity of the premise. >Validity. Premise/Genz: the premise does not have to be made the basis of its conclusion, but it can be made the basis. >Consequence, >Conclusion, >Logic, >Implication, >Paradox of implication._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
