Document Summary

A process (dialectical) - (carl marx) one side of argument and criticism, counter-criticism. Instrument used for rational persuasion (vs. bribe, force, charm, intimidate, etc). A set of claims / statements (at least two) that must be related. At least one claim is used to support another claim. eg. [ she"s armed ]. Not an argument because one claim does not support the other claim. eg. the lights are on in this room. The clock at the front of the class has stopped. -> make an inference. = making an intuitive connection. So, therefore, thus claim = premise (supporting claim)
