premise and evidence

littlebluesk

what's the difference between premise and evidence????/

help please!!!   

fyhllj

premise is an idea or theory on which a statement or action is based. 在逻辑上，我们程之为前提。
evidence is one or more reasons for believing that something is or is not true.即“证据“

在推论中，我们依据前提premise，利用证据evidence来证明自己结论。

Thanks  a lot,

Still a little confused about the difference between premise and evidence.
Are there any example for them?

请看小安Boldface的 第七题：

7. To be accepted as a member at the Brown Country Club, one must have a net worth of over ten million dollars and must not have any connections to the entertainment industry. Robert Chase, the publishing magnate, has a net worth of 5 billion dollars and chase has not financed any Hollywood movies, so he must be accepted as a member at the Brown Country Club.

The two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

(A) The first is the part of evidence in support of this argument; the second is the conclusion that could not be drawn from all evidence that the argument contains.
(B) The first is the first-evidence that supports this argument; the second is the mainpoint that must be drawn from all evidence that the argument includes.
(C) The first is the one fact of two that argument includes; the second is the conclusion that could be drawn from this passage.
(D) The first is the background that is necessary for this argument; the second is the conclusion that is not drawn only from the first.
(E) The first is the cause that the argument includes; the second is the effect that can be drawn only from this cause.

我觉得To be accepted as a member at the Brown Country Club, one must have a net worth of over ten million dollars and must not have any connections to the entertainment industry. 就是一个ｐｒｅｍｉｓｅ 　（有待指正）

而Robert Chase, the publishing magnate, has a net worth of 5 billion dollars and chase has not financed any Hollywood movies 就是一个ｅｖｉｄｅｎｃｅ.
Answer is  Ａ.

另外，综合前辈们的论述：ｐｒｉｎｃｉｐｌｅ　是一个常理， 比如 boldface #1 ：During landing, navigation systems receive radio signals from the airport to guide the plane to the runway. Ｆａｃｔ　是一个事实，通常是已发生的， 并且这个事实会在论述中被论据提到的，
所谓引经据典。 比如 boldface #8 :　Over the past several years, however, the advance of electronic media, particularly CD-ROMs, online computer services, and the Internet, has made 9information available to the public electronically without the need for printed materials.　而之后的论据就提到了这个ｆａｃｔ：As the availability of electronic media increases and as it is more easily accessible, the public has less need for printed materials.
所以，我们不能说ｆａｃｔ　是一个论据，因为她是一个事实。

希望讲清楚了！

我怎么觉得，在推理中称为前提，在论证中称为论据。

逻辑书上是这么定义的：

推理就是从一个或者若干个命题得出其他命题的思维过程。它由前提和结论两部分组成。推理所依据的命题，叫做前提；通过推理所得到的命题，叫做结论。

论证：用一个或几个已确定为真的命题，进而去确定另一个命题的真实性的思维过程，就是论证。
