Conclusion: If a man has sexual intercourse with a woman against her will, then the man has acted immorally.
P: h --> i
P: s --> h
C: s --> i
Premise 1.
I should be asleep right now, having taken Ambien, but woke up prematurely. Never a great idea.
Premise 2.
I'm not asleep, but not clear headed awake either. I feel quite invested in this story.
Is they're something I should do?
Do I need to call the police?
Premise 3.
Because of P1 and P2, I'm going to mostly ignore the propositional symbology you wrote (e.g. h --> i , s --> h , s --> i)
All you need to say is that
immoral behaviour is another way of saying
causing unnecessary harm or suffering to another person. This way, every occasion of action or behaviour that causes unnecessary harm of suffering can be labelled immoral.
While bearing in mind there is plenty of nuance waiting to be applied.
Hmmm..
Perhaps I should have just replied
