Practical arguments


Practical arguments are a logical structure used to determine the validity or dependencies of a claim made in natural-language arguments.

Overview

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 one's opponent that one's claim is better supported and that the opponent's claim is supported by false grounds and or warrants. If one has no grounds or warrants to support one's claim, then one has no argument, just a belief/claim, perhaps an inaccurate one.
