Document Summary
Made up of two or more propositions, one of these is claimed to follow from or be supported by the others. Proposition that is affirmed or denied on the bias of other propositions in the argument. Proposition that supports or gives reasons for accepting the conclusion. In an argument, we move from the premise to the conclusion through interference. Conclusion necessarily follows from the premises if the premises are true and the reasoning process is valid. The conclusion probably follows from the premises but we can"t be 100 percent sure. The strong and more complete the premises the stronger the argument. Premise: because, since, for. conclusion: therefore, thus, hence, so, as. Arguments that are binding unless they conflict with a pressing moral duty or right. An inductive argument that is psychologically or emotionally persuasive but logically incorrect. Used when we are unsure of our position. When an ambiguous word changes meaning in the course of an argument.
