Re: Q15 - Bowers: A few theorists hold

Clarifying why AC (B) is wrong.

Written in conditional reasoning forms:

A: Anarchy
LFZ: Laissez-faire capitalism
SP: Social Philosophy
C: Chaos
O: Order
P: Peace
SP (A): Social Philosophy that approves chaos

A -> LFZ

Acceptable SP -> P & O

SP (A) -> C

Implied:
(1) C -> not P & not O.
(2) not P & not O -> not Acceptable SP (deserves no attention)

Conclusion:
SP (A) -> C -> not P & not O -> not Acceptable SP
or
SP (A) -> not Acceptable SP (deserves no attention)

Note: As you can see, the 'A -> LFZ' statement played no role in the argument.

This is one reason why I think (B) is wrong.
