How many
To simplify your initial understanding and application of propositional logic, it is suggested that you simply start by looking at the basic propositions, or premises, that commonly form the basis from which some popular arguments are developed. You will discover that a great number of seemingly intricate arguments and ways of thinking are, in reality, based on a series of combinations of very simple and basic propositions. You may also discover how many popular modern arguments and assertions are based on false propositions; rendering the ultimate conclusion drawn from such faulty propositions unreliable.
I've some questions to ask:
1. Is "how many" in the italic sentence about to ask about the quantity or amount of something? or the word "how" just mean "the way"?
2. Why did the author use an adjective (unreliable) after a noun (proposition)?
Thanks
