Reasonable Doubt: A Note on âNeutralâ Illatives and Arguments [Book Review]
Argumentation 13 (3):243-250 (1999)
Abstract
George Bowles and Thomas Gilbert claim that illatives such as âsoâ, âthereforeâ, and âhenceâ convey the meaning that the premise confers upon the conclusion a probability greater than 1/2. This claim is false, for there are straightforward uses of these illatives that do not convey the meaning that the probability is greater than 1/2. In addition, because Bowles' and Gilbert's claim is false, a revision of their definition of argument is requiredAuthor's Profile
