## Dissecting the Argument The image shows a diagram to help you analyze an argument. ### Final Judgement The final judgement is based on the `premise + conclusion`. ### True/Factual The final judgement is evaluated as either `true` or `factual` based on the evidence provided in the argument. ### Claim, Evidence, Counterclaim, Refutations The argument includes `claims` which are supported with `evidence`. There can also be `counterclaims` which are refuted using `refutations`. ### Why? * The `why` section explores the reasons behind the claim. * The reasons can be presented using phrases like: `considering that, in light of, given that, as shown by, seeing as, assuming that`. ### What? * The `what` section is the `premise` or the assumed fact. * The `premise` helps draw a conclusion. * The `premise` can be supported using phrases like: `therefore, thus, consequently, hence, accordingly, in as much as, for the reasons that, because, since, in view of the fact, evidenced by`. ### Conclusion * The `conclusion` is a statement that follows from the `premise`. * The conclusion can be expressed using phrases like: `consequently, therefore, this means that, it follows that, this bears out the point, it leads us to believe that, it leads us to believe that, which proves/implies that, as a result`. ### Rock Exist The `rock exist` is an example of a simple conclusion. * The `premise` is that we can see a rock and we can touch a rock. * This supports the `conclusion` that rocks exist. ### Riya Is Smart * The `premise` is that Riya is smart. * The `conclusion` is that she will make good book recommendations. * The `intermediate conclusion` is that you should follow Riya on Instagram. * The `cause` is that Riya is smart. * The `effect` is that she will make good book recommendations. The image uses colorful boxes and arrows to show the flow of the argument and its parts. The image helps you see the parts of an argument and understand how they relate to each other. It also helps you to see different ways that an argument can be structured. This is a useful tool for analyzing different arguments you encounter.
