2 Compare these three arguments: Robert is a teacher. All teachers are nice. Therefore, Robert is nice. Robert is a teacher. Robert is nice. Therefore, all teachers are nice. All teachers are nice. Robert is nice. Therefore, Robert is a teacher.
3 An argument is valid if its conclusion follows inevitably from its premises; i.e., if it is not possible for the premises to be true and the conclusion false. Premise: All brilligs have slythy toves. Premise: All Jabberwokks are brilligs. Conclusion: All Jabberwokks have slythy toves. An argument is invalid if its conclusion does not follow inevitably from its premises; i.e., if conclusion can be false even if premises are true. Premise: Some brilligs have slythy toves. Premise: All Jabberwokks are brilligs. Conclusion: All Jabberwokks have slythy toves. A valid argument is unsound if any premise is untrue. Premise: All brilligs have slythy toves. Premise: Mr. Saunders, despite protestations, is a brillig. Conclusion: Mr. Saunders has slythy toves.
4 Deductive and Inductive Reasoning Excerpted and adapted from Moore, Brooke Noel, and Richard Parker, Critical Thinking (New York: McGraw-Hill, 2012) Deductive Arguments Tends to move from general categories to particular instances True premises prove conclusion validity [is] the fundamental concept of deductive logic A [deductive] argument is valid if it isn t possible for the premise to be true and the conclusion false. If the premise were true, the conclusion could not be false. o Bill Clinton is taller than George Bush o George Bush is taller than Jimmy Carter o Therefore, Bill Clinton is taller than Jimmy Carter Deductive arguments are true or false no grey area Inductive Arguments Tends to move from particular instances to general categories True premises support but don t by selves prove conclusion Inductive Arguments are weak or strong, depending on how much support their premises provide for the conclusion. o Weak argument premises give less support Husband was mad at wife, so he s the murderer We know husband was mad at wife but lots of husbands are and don t kill o Strong argument premises give lots of support We found his fingerprints on the knife stuck in her chest and nobody else s prints were on it o Reasonable Doubt speaks to this scale
5 Image found at Deductive Arguments Tend to move from general to particular, or among equivalencies True premises prove conclusion Deductive arguments true or false; no grey A [deductive] argument is valid if it isn t possible for the premise to be true and the conclusion false. If the premise were true, the conclusion could not be false. o Bill Clinton is taller than George Bush o George Bush is taller than Jimmy Carter o Bill Clinton is taller than Jimmy Carter Inductive Arguments Tend to move from particular to general True premises support but do not, by themselves, prove conclusion Inductive Arguments are weak or strong, depending on how much support their premises provide for the conclusion. o Weak premises give less support Husband mad at wife; HE killed her! Many husbands get mad, don t kill o Strong premises give lots of support We found his fingerprints on the knife stuck in her chest and ONLY his o Reasonable Doubt speaks to this scale
6 Label the following Inductive or Deductive. A = B; B = C; therefore, A = C. Mr. Collins has mud on his right sleeve. We had rain yesternight. Therefore Mr. Collins sat at the right side of his cab on his way here this morning. All fruits grow on trees. Apples are fruits. Therefore, apples grow on trees. Apples grow on trees. All fruits grow on trees. Therefore, apples are fruits. Apples are fruits. Apples grow on trees. Therefore, all fruits grow on trees. William is a bachelor. All bachelors are single. Therefore, William is single. William is a bachelor. William is single. Therefore, all bachelors are single. William is single. All bachelors are single. Therefore, William is a bachelor.
7 Label the following Inductive or Deductive. All cats that I have seen purr. Therefore, every cat must purr. The Earth is a planet, and all planets orbit a sun, therefore the Earth orbits a sun. All humans are mortal, and I am a human, so I am mortal. All dolphins are mammals, all mammals have kidneys; therefore all dolphins have kidneys. All squares are rectangles, and all rectangles have four sides, so all squares have four sides. If Dennis misses work and at work there is a party, then Dennis will miss the party. Bob is a sumo wrestler. Sumo wrestlers weigh a lot. Bob weighs a lot. All birds have feathers and robins are birds, so robins have feathers. All birds have feathers and robins have feathers, so robins are birds. Robins have feathers, and robins are birds, so all birds have feathers. It is dangerous to drive on icy streets. The streets are icy now so it is dangerous to drive now. All cats have a keen sense of smell. Fluffy is a cat, so Fluffy has a keen sense of smell.
8 The elm is a tree and all trees have bark, so elms have bark. The elm is a tree and all elms have bark; therefore, all trees have bark. Snakes are reptiles and reptiles are cold-blooded; therefore, snakes are cold-blooded. Jenny is a dancer. Dancers are thin and tall. Jenny is thin and tall. All observed cats in the area are brown.

All horses have manes and the Arabian is a horse; therefore Arabians have manes.
9 Writing For This Course: Rhetorical Précis Writing A rhetorical précis analyzes both content (the what) and delivery (the how) of a bit of writing. Each sentence requires specific information. You should use brief quotations to convey a sense of the author s style and tone. 1. THE FIRST SENTENCE identifies author, title, and genre, provides the piece s date in parenthesis, uses some form of the verb says (claims, asserts, suggests, argues, aka a rhetorically accurate verb) followed by that, and the piece s thesis (paraphrased or quoted). 2. THE SECOND SENTENCE conveys the author's support for the thesis (how the author develops the essay). The trick is to convey a good sense of the breadth of the author s support examples, usually in chronological order. 3. THE THIRD SENTENCE analyzes the author's purpose using an in order to statement. 4. THE FOURTH SENTENCE describes the essay's target audience and characterizes the author's relationship with that audience and addresses the essay's tone.

11 Is There Any Limit for Knowledge? It is often said that the wish for cognition is one of the most important forces that drive a human being onwards; at least, a human being that has reached certain level of development. It seems that human, if given enough time and power, won t stop until he knows everything that is there to be known. The only thing that separates him from absolute knowledge is the necessity of death; and, as we will show, in more than one sense. On the one hand, human cannot achieve absolute knowledge for the sheer reason of his life being limited the information that belongs to collective knowledge of humanity even now exceeds the possibilities of what one man can learn in a lifetime, and the potential knowledge that remains unattainable so far should be of really gargantuan proportions. Yet, we see that people are not confused by the limitedness of the possibilities every separate human has; in their majority people of knowledge are quite satisfied to learn as much as it is possible for them and even more if they are capable to add something to the existing knowledge. But, on the other hand, if we consider for a moment a possibility of a human being becoming immortal, will it actually give him an opportunity of attaining complete knowledge? If we take it for granted that the Universe is cognizable, then it will be possible for him in his infinite life to learn everything; but in the end, one final mystery will remain death. There is no way to learn anything about it by observing it from outside, for in this case we only see it well, from outside, and perceive only its influence on physical matter. The one who wants to know everything will finally become exceedingly attracted by death, for it will remain the only unlearnt thing for him. It is often said that great knowledge doesn t bring happiness; in fact, the more person knows, the less happy he is. Isn t it a kind of reverberation of what we have said above? Isn t it this attraction to one final mystery that cannot be learned until you go through it on your own, and once you will, there won t be any possibility for you to impart this knowledge to anyone? Anyway, as we may see, complete knowledge is impossible for a human being; at least, in the state in which we consider ourselves to be humans.
