## Analysis
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. On what modality is it impossible for animals to value their lives?
|
|||
|
|
- an adjective
|
|||
|
|
2. What is the contradiction on that modality?
|
|||
|
|
- a proposition in conjunction with its negation
|
|||
|
|
3. Can you argue to that contradiction?
|
|||
|
|
- an argument with premises and a conclusion
