A logical move where you use what you already know to figure out something new—essentially drawing a conclusion from evidence.
propositional connectives(the other type of logical tool the Stoics inherited analysis of)
Words and logical operators that join simple statements together, like 'and,' 'or,' and 'if-then'—they determine how complex ideas relate to each other.
