Document Summary

Our perception relates strongly to what we predict will happen. When you reason, you draw conclusions: either a or b, we know it is not b, so we know it is a. Example: everyone in the room is at least 46 years old, eddie is in the room, therefore, eddie is at least 46 years old. Components of an argument: reason(s, conclusion(s) A correct argument is one whose conclusion follows the premises. Truth is the relationship between what a statement says and what the world is like, while. Correctness is an internal relationship between the premises and the conclusion. #2 = not possible: you cannot have true premises and a false conclusion. A statement always has a value of truth to it. An argument is a collection of propositions: made of premises and a conclusion. If the premises are true, the conclusion must be true: these tests are either valid or invalid.
