Premise

well, just like all other dogs. The major and minor premise must coincide to yield a conclusion; this one of the rules that should always be applied when observing a syllogistic argument. One must use good reasoning when creating a logical statement. To look at the big picture, since logic deals with correct reasoning and since correctness of reasoning is closely related with truth and falsity, then when one reasons correctly, “if the premises of his/her argument are true, then it will be…

Her premises argue that the War on Drugs spends a tremendous amount of tax money and impacts many issues that plague society such as murder, police violence and lower than possible education rates.

From this careful examination of Socrates propositions, one can conclude that Socrates put forth a faulty argument. Before Socrates logic is determined flawed, one must understand the…

college costs can be covered by joining the military. After that, I will challenge the arguments and how they need extra evidence to stand out better. Finally, I will explain how the author’s arguments support his conclusion. Martin Bozeman has three premises that support his conclusion. In the first argument, he discussed that tax is high right now. Expenses for people will get worse with another weight burdening the American taxpayers. After graduating, part of the money from the taxes that…

proposed by Anselm of Canterbury, is an argument that uses premises and reason to prove that God exists. In this paper, I will explain Anselm’s arguments for the existence of God and Guanilo’s response against Anselm’s reasoning. I will then evaluate the arguments given by both Anselm and Gaunilo. In his work, Proslogion, Anselm uses reductio ad absurdum to argue that God exists. Reductio ad absurdum is a form of argument where a premise is disproven by following its implications, leading to a…

He concludes, “…living people come to be from nowhere other than from the dead” (Plato, 2014, p. 58, 70d). While Socrates’ argument is valid, his first premise is problematic. It is within this premise that he assumes fundamentally dissimilar relationships between fundamentally dissimilar entities are analogous. When…
