Question 1
pts
What are the three fundamental reasoning strategies listed in the text?
Your Answer:
1. Comparative reasoning
2. Ideological reasoning
3. Empirical reasoning

Question 2
pts
What is comparative reasoning? On what skill is it
based? Your Answer:
Comparative reasoning is used to illustrate, illuminate, suggest, or
hypothesize the process of using what is familiar to make interpretations,
explanations, or inferences about what is less familiar. Based on critical
thinking skills.

Question 3
pts
We learned four tests for evaluating arguments: truthfulness of the premises,
logical strength, relevance, and non-circularity. How well do these tests work
with respect to evaluating comparative reasoning? Consider each of the four
tests.
Your Answer:
Test 1: Are the premises all true?
This test will not work with evaluating comparative reasoning because true or
false are used mainly for evaluating the comparison.

, Test 2: Are there counterexamples and how difficult is it to imagine them?
This question helps measure the logical strength of the analogy and
categorize comparisons' plausibility. Nonetheless, it will not work well with
comparative reasoning because there are too many cases of similarities and
dissimilarities.
Test 3: Are the premises relevant to the truth of the conclusion?
The conclusion is the claim about the characteristics of the unfamiliar topic or
content. It will help establish the relevance of comparisons between topics.
Test 4: Does the truth of any premise depend on the truth of the conclusion?
Comparative interference should flow from what we know to what we claim
to be true. Nonetheless, it does not work because in comparative
reasoning there is unfamiliarity. Thus, if something is unfamiliar it is
challenging to connect premise and conclusion.
Lastly, the four tests for evaluating comparative reasoning do not work to
evaluating comparative reasoning.

Question 4
pts
Briefly explain how we can determine if one comparison is more
comprehensive than another.
Your Answer:
To determine if one comparison is more comprehensive than another, we can
utilize the four tests for evaluating comparative reasoning stated in question
3.
Are the premises all true?
Are there any counter examples and how difficult is it to
imagine? Are the premises relevant to the truth of the
conclusion?
Does the truth of any premise depend on the truth of the conclusion?

Question 5
pts
According to the text, the basic question to ask when evaluating a
comparison between two objects or ideas or events is “Are they alike enough
in the important ways or not?” (p. 248). What are those “important ways”
that determine the credibility of conclusions based on similarities?
