how to construct a argument.md

  1. claim
    the first essential part.
    not serve to explain the argument.
    it's used to summarize the argument

  2. warrant
    the meaty part
    state what is true and prove it is true

in two forms
A.) analytical warrant
use pure analytical thinking to come to a conclusion

a popular form is synllogism, the reason form is
A -> B , B -> C ;
A -> C
A imply B, B imply C, so A imply C.
audience can accept the former statement, will tend to accept the result

shortcoming of analytical warrant:
the reality may not work the same with logic, there may have some counter example

use empirical warrant to attack

empirical warrant:
this type of analysis deal with how the world really work.
use empirical warrant, something happen in the past may happen in the future.
these are intuitive to audience.

shortcoming:
it can't be guranteed that just two things happen, one things can cause another things. the relation of two thing can be proved by logic

can use logic to attack

  1. impact
    although the argument is justified and right, but it may be unrelated with the topic, motion
