At the Level of the Logic of Statements, a Tautology

question 15

Essay

At the level of the Logic of Statements, a tautology is implied by any statement and an inconsistent statement implies any statement. Moreover, any two tautologies or any two self-contradictory statements are equivalent. With regard to implication and equivalence, how should we resolve the differences between the treatment of these concepts in the Logic of Statements and how these same concepts apply in everyday real-world discourse?
