PHL 191 — PHL191 Language and the Layout of Argument
This course focuses on the analysis of arguments, including the assessment criteria: recognizing arguments when they occur, discerning simple logical patterns of argument as well as imposters, extracting arguments from the contexts in which they occur, restating them in clear and concise terms while clearing away needless language and assessing the strength of the restated argument, with particular attention given to the strength of the inference.
