Sdcar NN, i just wonder whether there is always a conclusion and some premises in every argument. it seems that in some sort of questions, such as weaken, support, assumption, there must be a conclusion in the argument. but when it comes to the Must-be-true, for instance, it seems that the argument just present us a set of fact or a thread of something.

If there is an argument, there must be a conclusion. For must-be-true type of question, sometimes you have a list of facts, not an argument. Therefore, no conclusion or premise. -- by 会员 sdcar2010 (2012/4/10 21:07:39)
oh, i see. just one more question! there is lots of logical terms in the boldface question, such as conclusion, consideration, evidence, premise, principle, and so on. i saw detail explantions about the terms in your BF post except POSITION. i want to ask whether the position plays the same role as the conclusion does in an argument? |
