Conclusion: In logic the statement in an argumement that is intended to be established by the
Premises

Premises: In logic, a statement in an argument used to established a conclusion



Is it deccriptive or does it Contain an argument?



How to know whether or not you have an argument:



Conclusion Indicators
Premise Indicators


Inference - The mental process of moving from the premises of an argument to the conclusion


Is it Good or bad?
What is the logic of this argument?


Logic's concern is the relationship between the Premises and the Conclusion.



Here's an example of a flawed argument: no logical connection:



P1 All Rubies are Red.



P2 All sapphires are Blue



All Emeralds are Green.


There was no Previous Statement about emeralds.

All premises must be true for a good argument.


Two types of problems:


1 Language , vagueness and ambiguity


2 Logic (deductive or inductive or abductive)


3 Truth value - is it True or False


Deductive argument: An argument that claims to lead from the premises to the conclusion in a necessary way.

Two things needed for a deductive Argument - True premise and valid argument form.
