What makes things l o g i c a l
Well here it is to discuss:
>An argument is valid if, assuming the premises are true, the conclusion must be true.
>An argument is sound if it is both valid and all its premises are actually true.
>Deductive logic deals with arguments where the conclusion follows with necessity (e.g., mathematics, formal reasoning).
>Inductive logic involves reasoning where the conclusion is probable based on the premises (e.g., scientific inference).
>Formal logic uses symbols and structured systems (like propositional and predicate logic) to analyze arguments precisely.
>Informal logic focuses on everyday reasoning, fallacies, and how arguments are used in natural language.
>Logic also studies fallacies, which are errors in reasoning that make arguments invalid or misleading (e.g., straw man, ad hominem, slippery slope).
Make a logical argument using inductive or deductive reasoning, without relying on a logical fallacy to support your premise
