Phil 347 Week 4 Checkpoint Quiz (Dual
Version)
Question 1

pts


Based on what you have read in the text, the lecture, and any other
sources you find helpful to your understanding of deductive arguments,
explain the structure of a deductive argument in your own words.



Your Answer:


A deductive argument typically has two premises and a conclusion
based on those premises. In order for the conclusion to be true, the
premises must be true as well. Therefore, if the premises are true, the
conclusion will certainly be true. Deductive reasoning depends more on
facts than inferences.




Question 2

pts


Go to the box “Deductive Reasoning” (in the beginning of Chapter 8).
Read the last paragraph there. Based on that reading and any other
sources you find helpful to your understanding, describe the part that
“rules, operating conditions, core beliefs, values, policies, principles,
procedures, and terminology” (p. 159) play in deductive arguments.



Your Answer:


Rules, operating conditions, core beliefs, values, policies, principles,
procedures, and terminology play a large part in deductive arguments. A
valid deductive argument is based on premises that have little to no
chance of being false. Therefore, you must combine all of the above
(rules, operating conditions, etc.) in order to formulate premises and a
conclusion that is 100% true. Without these, there is room for uncertainty.

, Meaning it is possible for the deductive argument to fail the test of logical
strength.
