Based on what you have read in the text, the lecture, and any other
sources you find helpful to your understanding of deductive arguments,
explain the structure of a deductive argument in your own words. - answer
An argument is deductive if the premises are true and if the reasoning is
such that there is only one possible conclusion
Go to the box "Deductive Reasoning" (in the beginning of Chapter 8). Read
the last paragraph there. Based on that reading and any other sources you
find helpful to your understanding, describe the part that "rules, operating
conditions, core beliefs, values, policies, principles, procedures, and
terminology" (p. 159) play in deductive arguments. - answer In an
argument, when the reasoning stems from an operating condition, core
belief, value, policy, principle, procedure, or terminology, that premise will
control the outcome. Meaning, the rule, policy, etc., will completely
determine the conclusion of the argument.
In the introduction to Chapter 8, the text sets forth a specific definition of
the term "valid" as it applies to deductive arguments. What is that
definition? - answer Valid applies to the structure of a deductive
argument. If a deductive argument is "valid", then it is in the proper form.
Invalid means that a deductive argument has a mistake in its form.
"Sound" means that the premises of a deductive argument are actually,
factually true and they guarantee the conclusion.
