Argument from integratives

Evil will never beat good because defeating evil is easier than defeating good.

Both the subjects and the predicates are different, so the argument form is gamma (a is X because b is Y): “Evil (a) will never beat good (X) because defeating evil (b) is easier than defeating good (Y)”.

The relationship between the subjects is identical to that between the predicates, so the substance is ‘i’.

The argument lever describes the semantic relationship between the subjects a and b and the predicates Y and X. It can thus be formulated as “Defeating evil (b) is INTEGRATIVE of evil (a) and being easier than defeating good (Y) is INTEGRATIVE of will never beat good (X)”.
