Practical arguments


Practical arguments are a logical structure used to determine the validity or dependencies of a claim made in natural language. See argument for uses and general information.

An argument can be thought of as two or more contradicting tree structures.

The object of a discussion is often to resolve a difference of opinion. This requires common grounds from which to logically convince your opponent that your claim is better supported and that their claim is supported by false grounds and or warrants. (see Occam's razor) If one has no grounds or warrants to support ones claim, then one has no argument just a belief/claim, probably an inaccurate one.
