Line 1:
Line 1: − In logic, an '''argument''' is a a reason given in proof or rebuttal. It consists of one or more meaningful premises along with a meaningful conclusion.+ − − For example, the following is an argument: − − * Premise 1. All Greeks are human. − * Premise 2. All humans are mortal. − * Conclusion. All Greeks are mortal. − − An argument should not be confused with a statement. To create an argument, the person making the claims must offer further statements which, at least in theory, support the claims. If the claim is supported, the argument is successful; if the claim is not supported, the argument fails. − −
