Arguments for the Existence of God

But, in the sense of 'existence' required for the Ontological Argument, a corpse exists as much as a living organism.
This is the famous Ontological Argument, invented by St. Anselm of Canterbury.
An argument may fail to prove its conclusion either through its premisses being doubtful or through its structure being logically defective.

<bb>>Logicalb>bb>> fallacy - encyclopedia article about <bb>>Logicalb>bb>> fallacy.

A <bb>>logicalb>bb>> fallacy is an error in <bb>>logicalb>bb>> argument An argument is an attempt to demonstrate the truth of an assertion called a conclusion, based on the truth of a set of assertions called premises.
Appeal to belief In logic, an appeal to belief (also called the appeal to the majority or the argumentum ad populum) is a <bb>>logicalb>bb>> fallacy that is committed when someone asserts that a proposition should be held to be true, or more plausible, merely because it is widely believed.
Amphibology Amphibology or amphiboly (from the Greek amphibolia) is, in logic, a verbal fallacy arising from ambiguity in the grammatical structure of a sentence.

<bb>>Logicalb>bb>> fallacy - encyclopedia article about <bb>>Logicalb>bb>> fallacy.

Amphibology or amphiboly (from the Greek amphibolia) is, in logic, a verbal fallacy arising from ambiguity in the grammatical structure of a sentence.
A <bb>>logicalb>bb>> fallacy may mean nothing more than a fallacy or it may mean an error in deductive reasoning, i.e., a formal fallacy.
In the latter case, it is a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument as opposed to an error in the premises.

Argument Forms

Thus, for example, each of the following is an argument expressed in the language of symbolic logic:
Recognizing individual arguments as substitution-instances of more general argument forms is an important skill because, as we've already seen, the validity of any argument depends solely upon its <bb>>logicalb>bb>> form.
Since the statements of the propositional calculus are propositions, they can be combined to form <bb>>logicalb>bb>> arguments, complete with one or more premises and a single conclusion that may follow validly from them.

Argument

But the word argument implies two sides: if you're arguing orally, not only do you support your position, but you also show that the reasons your opponent is using aren't <bb>>logicalb>bb>> or valid.
When you read an argument, you must realize the author is also supporting reasons and refuting opposition; therefore, you need to read carefully to analyze the composition: determine the positions of the proponents and the opponents and decide if you should be convinced by the author's arguments.
Argumentative writing must be based on argument, proof, and emotional appeal.

The Language of Thought: Annotated Bibliography

I propose, develop and defend the view that theories of meaning--for instance, a theory specifying the <bb>>logicalb>bb>> form or truth conditions of natural language sentences--should be naturalized to scientific psychological inquiry.
It is also made clear that Rey is not arguing that we always think logically, but only that we have this capability.
He thinks that in order to avoid having meaning (given, as he puts it, by a "mature psychology") merely roughly correspond to syntax in a way consistent with Dennett's instrumentalism, Fodor's realism requires that there be completeness and soundness relations between syntax and semantics as there are in formal <bb>>logicalb>bb>> systems.

Philosophical Dictionary: Arche-Artificial Intelligence

The structure of arguments is the principal subject of logic.
The general <bb>>logicalb>bb>> structure of an argument, considered apart from any of its specific content.
In the propositional calculus, an argument form is a set of two or more statement forms such that the substitution of an actual statement for each of its statement variables would result in an argument.

Notice that from Green's perspective every relation must be mental because he is concerned only with the <bb>>logicalb>bb>> structure of the individual's ability to categorise and relate sensations that are perceived by his own mind and to draw implications from these perceptions.

That is no less seen in the statement "one might find it curious that they understand English," yet we cannot discern the functions or capabilities of any supposed demon, which must, by definition, exist and operate in the metaphysical if we assume that they do indeed exist, even for the purposes of argument only.
Furthermore and expanding on the fallacy of presupposition, and trying to draw it together with the fallacy of hypostatisation, the argument presupposes no connection whatsoever between the physical act of stating something in the objective and the actual act of thinking in the abstract.
At the very least, it is wholly guilty of <bb>>logicalb>bb>> fallacy of presupposition, so it is no real wonder at all that "this one isn't found in standard texts." And if one digs deeper, it is probably guilty of the crime of omission.

Argument - Philosophical Logic

A <bb>>logicalb>bb>> argument is a combination of propositions, of which some are called premises and others conclusions, such that by asuming the truth of the premises it is rational to asume the truth of the conclusion.
A invalid argument is an argument, in which the <bb>>logicalb>bb>> structure of the premises alone either doesn't give enough information to draw the given conclusion in its <bb>>logicalb>bb>> form or it's <bb>>logicalb>bb>> structure even forbids the given conclusion in it's <bb>>logicalb>bb>> form.
A valid argument is a argument in which this asumption is rational because of the argument's <bb>>logicalb>bb>> structure.

SPSW - Critical Thinking - 2: Opinion versus Argument

A <bb>>logicalb>bb>> argument only depends on the acceptance of the premises, and the validity of the deductions, which can be verified independently of the emotional state of the verifier, the popularity of the argument, etc.
Thus the psychological argument in comparison to the <bb>>logicalb>bb>> argument is both of lesser application and of lesser likelihood of correctness.
As I understand it, psychological persusasion tends to appeal to popularity of an argument, emotional impact of an argument, or strongly stated absolutes in an argument, as reasons for the argument's correctness.

Validity and Soundness [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]

Because of the difficulty in identifying the <bb>>logicalb>bb>> form of an argument, and the potential deviation of <bb>>logicalb>bb>> form from grammatical form in ordinary language, contemporary logicians typically make use of artificial <bb>>logicalb>bb>> languages in which <bb>>logicalb>bb>> form and grammatical form coincide.
An argument is valid if the premises and conclusion are related to each other in the right way so that if the premises were true, then the conclusion would have to be true as well.
According to the definition of a deductive argument (see the entry on Deduction and Induction), the author of a deductive argument always intends that the premises provide the sort of justification for the conclusion whereby if the premises are true, the conclusion is guaranteed to be true as well.

Emotional proofs are appropriate in your argument only when they are used to develop the argument and only when they contribute to the sense of <bb>>logicalb>bb>> conviction or agreement that are the argument's intended outcomes; a well-reasoned set of <bb>>logicalb>bb>> proofs can also contribute to a strong acceptance of a <bb>>logicalb>bb>> conclusion.
Generally, emotional proofs are appropriate in your argument when your subject itself is emotional and when this creates strong feelings in both you, the writer, and in your audience; this appeal is appropriate when the occasion justifies it and when emotion strengthens <bb>>logicalb>bb>> conviction.
Argument deals with issues, or topics that have not yet been settled, topics that invite two or more opposing opinions and that are, consequently, subject to question, to debate, or to negotiation.

Logic for Dummies

There is one particular relationship between premises and truth that makes logic into a useful tool for real life arguments: If we know the premises of the argument to be true, then no <bb>>logicalb>bb>>, structurally correct, extraction of a conclusion from this set of true premises can be anything but true.
Applying our definition of <bb>>logicalb>bb>> validity (if premises are true, then the conclusion is necessarily true) we can ask ourselves: "If it is true that the street is wet and that it is overcast, must it not be the case, then, that the street is wet?" The answer is, of course, yes.
Now that the topic of truth is opened, we ca define a <bb>>logicalb>bb>> valid argument as one which has a <bb>>logicalb>bb>> form that always produces true conclusions when the premises of the argument are true.
