About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 The first step in making an argument is to ask yourself what you are trying to prove. Your conclusion is the statement for which you are giving reasons. The statements that give your reasons are your premises.
#2 Arguments are like any other form of movement. They may be graceful or clumsy, sharp or confused, clean or muddled. You want clarity and efficiency, even grace if you can manage it.
#3 The premise of an argument is the statement that is being argued for. It is important to make sure that your premises are strong, since they will be the foundation of your conclusion. If you are not sure about the reliability of a premise, you may need to do some research and/or give an argument for the premise itself.
#4 Do not use emotionally loaded words to describe your own side. If you can’t understand how someone could hold the view you are criticizing, it is probably because you don’t understand it yet.
