Consequent Totally Explained

Everything about Consequent totally explained

A consequent is the second half of a hypothetical proposition. In the standard form of such a proposition, it's the part that follows "then". Examples:

If P, then Q.

Q is the consequent of this hypothetical proposition.

If X is a mammal, then X is an animal. Here, "X is an animal" is the consequent.

If computers can think, then they're alive. "They are alive" is the consequent.
The consequent in a hypothetical proposition isn't necessarily a consequence of the antecedent.

If monkeys are purple, then fish speak Klingon. "Fish speak Klingon" is the consequent here, but clearly isn't a consequence of (nor has anything to do with) the claim made in the antecedent that "monkeys are purple".
