Do you like disjunctive syllogism?
Of course you do.
Despite complicated name, its actually very simple logic.
Let me give you an example:
It will rain today or I wont bring an umbrella.
If one sentence is true, the other isnt. Very simple.
It is true that it will rain today.
It is false that I wont bring an umbrella.
Let me give you another example
Homosexuals deserve human rights or homosexuals should be tortured.
It is true that homosexuals deserve human rights, therefore it is false that homosexuals should be tortured.
Disjunctive syllogism is there to show options in arguments. It is usually consisted of 2 opposite options, where one must be true and one must be false.
It is useful in limiting your opponent's case and forcing him to argue for things he doesnt want to argue for.
This logic can be consisted of more than two options, however all options in it must be in the form of "one of these is right, the rest are false" logic.
Presenting options is useful to make case clear and to present the consequences of each option being true or false.
