Identifying Premises and Conclusions

www.criticalthinkeracademy
Before you can analyze an argument you need to be sure that you've clearly identified the conclusion and the premises. This video discusses some of the challenges associated with this task.

That was really helpful for my personal studies, thank you for this.

[@ernestmall7505]

Thanks so much for this excellent explanation. This really helped!

[@Rhythm515]

Kevin - I've always heard there are three main/basic components to an argument: The Premise (idea), The Warrant(s) (support) & The Claim(s) (conclusion) - You seem to be combining the Premise & Warrants - It clearly works and your explanation seems more succinct, but can you share some thoughts about my comment just the same?
Thanks Kevin

[@blessingsjoelssen2499]

I believe I can now understand the difference, and what a premise actually is... Thank you so much for this video

[@mpumezohaka6856]

awesome loud and clear.

[@chescapangilinan8416]

Really helped me with my report!! thank youuuu

[@mlansfordhome]

Of all the possible examples you could have used, this s the one you start with. Yes, well done. I was looking for exercises to use with my students. Nonetheless, . . . . .

[@MYfriendsknow]

Great video - Thank you. I am using your videos for Homeschooling.

[@davidmason5526]

Quick query, I understand the standard form and could identify the premises and conclusions in this video. However, when reading longer texts do the premises have to be verbatim sentences from the argument or can they be paraphrased into more succinct statements?
Great video, really helpful!

[@hewaali6300]

good starting point to more learning about critical thinking

[@bernicewillie9748]

Great video.. Thank you

[@jamesharris184]

Thank you so much. It is a big help.

[@abelrv9143]

this is really supported presentation thanks Kevin

[@DiminishedStudios]

The difference is between arguments and argumentation. In this video, he is just showing the basic components for an argument. In later videos he talks about what makes good arguments, which will include the warrant.

[@shaunrebello5129]

Very nice, I liked it. Great content for digital marketers who write their own ads.

[@user-fs5fc1vv7y]

Why is 3rd point actually not the conclusion instead of the 1st? -The enemy is in arms -therefore we must decrease spending in other sectors - because we need Money for weapons. So Why is the reaction to the Premise the conclusion Rather than the reason for the reaction, that is "we need the additional money.."?

[@alexisgavitt666]

Because the third point is a reason supporting the claim made in the first. What claim is the argument making? That we need to spend less money on space exploration. Why? Because the additional money can be used to purchase military equipment.

[@pachiammanahappan7028]

thank you sir

[@TheMinime11222]

[@cristianomessi767]

thanks

[@jessicainsixiengmay9532]

can you please help me with my philosophy homework??

[@22calum22]

can someone help me with spotting the premise and conclusion with this 'the three Service Academies argue that combat training is by statute and policy for men only and that therefore they can properly exclude all women'

[@bidusikhadka1831]

funky seagull you may not need this now but:
Premise: Combat training is by statute and policy for men only.
Conclusion: they can properly exclude women

[@sou_desu8587]

What if theres 2 premise, if one premise supports the conclusion and one doesnt??

[@Wyoungday]

1:15 1:48 3:50

[@Rhythm515]

Michael, I truly appraciate the response, but your answer seems almost like a distinction without a difference. After further research I've concluded there is some flexibility when discussing the components of an argument.

[@SOBIESKI_freedom]

Brilliant!! Many thanks or your efforts

[@maximeberthiaume9943]

I'm a philosophy professor, would you mind if I steal some of your examples for my class?

[@victornkrumah950]

In fact is a conclusion indicator, true or false

[@tonyjordan50]

Do identifying unstated premise

[@joaquimmenezes7396]

GREAT

[@stephenprice3357]

Still confusing without the indicators

[@barreneric00]

Powerfull

[@ayanhashi5435]

how would I argue this in standard form "C: Therefore, It is not morally acceptable for people to sell their organs"

[@yeetiusmaximuss]

Imagine paying for a college course just to be told to watch a RUclips video for your education. This system is fucked

[@sasaplays6207]
