The following passage can be accurately represented employing one of the logical forms listed below. What logical form best captures the wording being used in this deductive argument?If ethical statements were simply statements about a the speaker’s feelings, it would be impossible to argue about questions of value. To take a typical example: if a man said that thrift was a virtue, an another replied that it was a vice, they would not, on this theory, be disputing with one another. One would be saying that he approved of thrift, and the other that he didn’t. There is no reason they both couldn’t be right since they are only talking about their own feelings. However it is obvious that we do dispute about questions of value, and accordingly we can conclude that this form of subjectivism–that ethical statements are merely statements about a speaker’s feelings–is false.
