"The Elements of Argument"

What are the five steps to analyzing an argument?

Answer :

Answer:

1) Identifying the Central Claim or Thesis

2) Identifying the Explicit Reasons

3) Identifying the Implicit Reasons

4) Identifying and Assessing the Evidence

5) Looking for Logical Fallacies

Explanation:

1) Identifying the Central Claim or Thesis

  • Claim is a single idea that the argument attempts to prove. It is often referred to as 'thesis'

2) Identifying the Explicit Reasons

  • By using the word 'because', we connect the explicit reason to the claim. On the basis of evidence, the reason will be considered valid or invalid.

3) Identifying the Implicit Reasons

  • The implicit reasons help identify the main issue of the argument. Moreover, they clarify the principles of logic and cultural principles that connect the explicit reason to the claim.

4) Identifying and Assessing the Evidence

  • This includes identifying and assessing the evidence regarding both implicit and explicit reasons.

5) Looking for Logical Fallacies

  • A logical fallacy is an invalid reasoning in our argument.
