    It is not the case that Moral statement E entails disjunction D

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Entailment requires necessary truth-preservation across all possible worlds, not merely actual co-extensionality of truth conditions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.An infinitely constructed disjunction listing E's true-worlds may be logically well-formed yet fail to capture the modal ground of E's necessity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If D's disjuncts are enumerated extensionally rather than derived from E's intension, D and E can diverge in counterfactual scenarios, defeating entailment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Carnap and later Fine distinguish logical entailment from mere truth-functional consequence, requiring the latter preserve meaning, not just truth values.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A disjunction enumerating every world where E holds is hyperintensionally distinct from E, as shown by Finean essence-based semantics.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Two sentences with identical truth sets can diverge in what they entail if their constitutive grounds differ, so D need not inherit E's entailment profile.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Disjunction D contains a disjunct describing every world where E is true
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If E is true, then one of the disjuncts of D must be true
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore D is true whenever E is true
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
