	Logical argument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In logic, 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.
		Less subjective criteria for validity of arguments are often clearly desirable, and in some cases we should even expect an argument to be rigorous, that is, to adhere to precise rules of validity.
		In evaluating an argument, we consider separately the truth of the premises and the validity of the logical relationships between the premises, any intermediate assertions and the conclusion.

	Framework: The Journal of Cinema and Media
		This was the thirty-year time frame within which, among other cultural platforms, film journals conducted their arguments and campaigns, film festivals formulated and adapted their policies, organisational campaigns on behalf of independent film and video sought to carve out a space for survival, and so on.
		In this respect, Framework's track record was and remains an honourable example of a journal refusing to accommodate itself to the spread of spiv culture, arguing consistently for a cinema that explores to full range of its signifying potential and for a non-debilitating television which, though theoretically possible, continues to recede into the future.
		This aspect of the journal was part of an increasingly anti-universalist argument stressing that films are and must be understood as thoroughly grounded in particular histories which reverberate in their very texture.

	Abstracts
		The basic ideas are to represent cases as argument structures (including pro and con arguments, and the arguments for adjudicating their conflicts) and to define certain case-based reasoning moves as strategies for introducing information into a dispute.
		A three- leveled model is proposed, where a formal argumentation framework is built around a logical system and itself embedded in a dialectical protocol for dispute, in such a way that, each time a party adds or retracts information, the argumentation framework reassesses the resulting state of the dispute.
		Three elements of the framework are particularly illustrated: firstly, its generality, in that it leaves room for any standard for comparing pairs of arguments; secondly, its ability to model the combined use of these standards; and finally, its relevance for modelling metalevel reasoning.

	Model (abstract) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Models in this sense are constructed to enable reasoning within an idealized logical framework about these processes and are an important component of scientific theories.
		The purpose of a model is to provide an argumentative framework for applying logic and mathematics that can be independently evaluated (for example by testing) and that can be applied for reasoning in a range of situations.
		Abstract models are used primarily as a reusable tool for discovering new facts, for providing systematic logical arguments as explicatory or pedagogical aids, for evaluating hypotheses theoretically, and for devising experimental procedures to test them.

	Survival of the institutionally fittest concepts
		Arguments which are either not produced, which remain latent or which are discussed but ignored when it comes to decision-making do not comply with the criteria defined by those `in power' in the institutional system.
		Arguments brought in by different actors are `filtered' by this complex, and only those fitting in with the dominant complex embraced by the currently most powerful actors acquire influence on the `real' decision making.
		Like a Gestalt, this framework is embedded in the very terminology through which policymakers communicate about their work, and it is influential precisely becasue so much of it is taken for granted and unamenable to scrutiny as a whole.

	Weblogs Forum - Stunting a Framework
		Framework development is hard, framework extension is hard, and framework use is hard, yet we keep trying.
		Framework developers try to write classes that don't have to change when new features are added, and often that works, but each time that it doesn't, the framework gets a little more baroque and a little harder to understand.
		There are some frameworks that I always want the latest and greatest version of, and there are some that I just want the core of; I take the latter and grow them as I need to.

		As the location of arguments or subjects for discourse, they form the core of invention, and to the extent that invention is central to rhetoric, the topics are a critical practice.
		If one accepts this argument, then one is committed to reading and writing instruction as they are currently provided in the traditional sort of English department where the honors and perks go to those who teach literature while those who teach writing teach nothing intellectually significant and are rewarded accordingly.
		From this perspective, then, rhetoric is significant to interpretation because it advises interpreters how to arrange and clothe arguments, it provides the argumentative framework for evaluating the relative plausibility of various interpretations, and, most importantly, it provides a practical method for discovering how to provide interpretations--for inventing meanings, in other words.

	Half an Hour
		An argument is a collection of sentences (known formally as 'propositions') intended to convince the reader that something is he case.
		In an argument, for example, you need to clearly indicate to the reader which sentence is your conclusion and which sentences are your premises.
		The argument becomes a causal argument when you appeal to some general principle or law of nature to explain the correlation.

	Argumentation
		Argumentation is a strategy for not just learning, but also evaluating content knowledge.
		Through argumentation, students develop an "'intellectual process' of reasoning" with which they are able to navigate various hypotheses and evaluate their truthfulness.
		Argumentation provides an opportunity for students to try out their theories in social discourse.

	Essays and Arguments :: Paragraph Structure
		The emphasis has been on developing a clear logical framework for the argument, in the form of a detailed outline, so that you know from the start the central claim of the essay and the way in which each paragraph will contribute to that argument.
		Simply presenting a table of data, for example, in support of an argumentative point is not very persuasive, unless, immediately after the table, the writer then directs the reader's attention at those details in the table which are relevant and explains how they support the argumentative point which the paragraph is trying to make.
		Notice how the writer does not continue the argument (which is over) but tends to draw back to place the issue in a wider perspective and, at the same time, to reinforce for the reader the central argument which the essay has been presenting.

		Such an argument, however, is obviously circular: its success is secured by those undisputed principles whose undisputedness is the conclusion of the argument.
		The students of argument begin with notions like that of a proof or a derivation or a consecution, and not with notions like that of arguer and person argued to or dialogical context or onus of proof.
		Some argumentative devices I will later use, such as the concept of the burden of proof, the technique of ad absurdum argumentation, also rely on such an approach.

	The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing
		College essays, by and large, fall within an intellectual tradition of rational discourse: claim, evidence, consideration and rebuttal of objections, and conclusion, all intended to appeal to the reader's open mind and reasoned judgment.
		Different types of essays may be more or less informal in their tone and sources and have all sorts of superficial differences, but the basic argumentative framework tends to remain.
		Sometimes students are required to construct a particular kind of argument like a lab report or a compare-and-contrast essay.

	Argumentative Paper
		The argumentative paper involves five main ingredients: 1) thesis [claim, proposition, main idea]; 2) context [background, framework, setting]; 3) reasons [support, evidence]; 4) counter-arguments [objections, contrary considerations]; and 5) responses [refutations, answers to objections].
		In a very short, very simple argumentative paper, the last two may not appear at all; so the absolute minimum ingredients are: thesis, context, and supporting reasons; and the thesis should appear prior to the reasons (it will also usually be restated after the reasons).
		In a very short, simple argumentative paper this can sometimes be given in the introductory paragraph, prior to your thesis statement; but typically you will need one or more context paragraphs after your thesis paragraph, sometimes before your reasons and counter-argument paragraphs, sometimes interspersed among them.

		Abstract: Defeasible argumentation is a form of defeasible reasoning, that emphasizes the notion of an argument.
		An argument A for a conclusion q is a tentative piece of reasoning which supports q.
		In an argumentative framework, common sense reasoning can be modeled as a process in which we must determine whether an argument justifies its conclusion.

	Textual Discourse and Reader Interaction
		It is a combination of empirical study and theoretical reasoning which informs the argument we are setting out and which provoked Alan Lester to construct a text for sixth formers which actively teaches a style of academic argument appropriate to historical geography.
		For example, in the last chapter, a main argument was that Afrikaner nationalism developed in the late 19th century in response to cultural and economic threats.
		Once the author is working within an argumentative framework, it is important that the student is made aware that the author's own capacities are limited to the presentation of an argument with which that author feels comfortable.

	Barbelith Underground > Head Shop > Misogyny and sexism: Are women to blame?
		It's also an argument that's very unlikely to have its true flaws picked up, since the gender stereotypes upon which it rests have been internalised by so many feminists that to attack them as stereotypes is often treated as an attck on feminism itself.
		It's as if the arguments one might for gender equality when the discussion comes up are being undermined by both sides, with the Sim-ians claiming that female=emotional=inferior, and the opposing side claiming that female=emotional=superior.
		The greater question I was trying to address is that an individual consciously espousing and defending a biased position is different from a passive "believer"...hence the question of why the "importation" of a biased model...which generally ties back to issues within the construction of self-identity and interpersonal interactions.

	Half an Hour: Markets in Education
		My argument was that the state cannot very well (in practice, not in theory) prevent parents from choosing to pay for their child’s education if they claim to give them ‘choice’.
		All this, of course, is lost under the weight of academic argument and bald-faced equivocation about the meaning of the word 'choice'.
		But I am bothered by the phrasing, by the arguments, by the contortions that avoid the truth - contortions needed, apparently, to be seen as properly academic.

		The Argumentative Indian is a discussion on the genesis and direction of the Indian identity, in the context of a global intercourse of ideas, ancient and recent.
		In a book such as The Argumentative India the reader expects something more than just incisive analysis, and pertinent conclusions; there is a quest for some ideas, that by their breadth and cogency (irrespective of the arguments bolstered or brought down), leaves the reader charmed, and possessed for much time after the book is finished.
		I am not sure “a deep tragedy” is apparent in the film's denouement, in fact there is suggestion that the husband and wife are restored to mutual trust and affection, ironically when both of them find themselves without a job.

		As the title indicates, this volume gives proponents of three evangelical schools of thought the opportunity to explain their respective views and to interact directly and meaningfully with one another.

		This view holds that the picture of God completing His work of creation in six days and resting on the seventh was not intended to reveal the sequence or duration of creation, but to proclaim an eschatological theology of creation.

	Seminar
		The introduction notes that German poetic realism has as a central concern the phenomenon of "repetition," a focus that Downing finds mirrored in twentieth-century critical descriptions of realist literature and also shared by such prominent nineteenth-century thinkers as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud.
		While the author's analyses of the primary works engage these and other philosophers, poets, and literary critics, the main argumentative framework is supplied by thoughts on repetition in narratology (Jakobson, Barthes), psychoanalysis (Freud, Lacan), and critical theory (Horkheimer, Adorno).
		Realist literature does not naively attempt to reproduce a prior given "reality," the representation of which proves merely to "repeat" deeply ideological cultural discourses of nature, gender, history, aesthetics, etc. Rather, this constructedness of the only seemingly prior and "original" reality is problematized by the characteristically "two-fold" optic of Realism.

		The framework is intended to provide interactive support for an argumentative style of reasoning, not fully automated reasoning.
		It is assumed that the type of strategic reasoning being supported is largely a judgemential, iterative process, frequently based on incomplete knowledge.

		If your thesis is not exactly right, I immediately know that the paper cannot earn an A. You should boil down the entire argumentative structure of the paper into a one or two sentence thesis to provide the reader with a map of what is to come and explains the purpose of each subsequent paragraph.
