    CH.2 Lesson 2

    This document discusses the difference between opinions and arguments. It states that opinions are a person's judgment about something, which should not be taken as immediately true. Arguments are groups of statements used to support a conclusion. For an opinion to be credible, it needs to be supported by good arguments that pass further justification and logical examination, rather than just strong assertions. Fallacious arguments can appear convincing but fail to logically support the conclusion.

    TRUTH AND OPINION

    OPINION

    STATE OF JUDGEMENT OF
    A PERSON ABOUT
    SOMETHING IN THE
    WORLD.
    OPINION

    SOME OPINIONS ARE SO


    WEAKLY MADE
    OPINION

    THEY HARDLEY SEE THE


    LIGHT OF THE DAY IN
    THE WORLD OF PRINT
    AND DIGITAL MEDIA
    OPINION

    SOME OPINIONS ARE VERY


    STRONGLY PUT THAT
    PEOPLE UNQUESTIONINGLY
    TAKE THEM AS TRUE.
    OPINION….

    STATEMENTS OF
    JUDGEMENT THAT ARE IN
    NEED OF FURTHER
    JUSTIFICATION
    OPINION

    IF THEY DO NOT PASS THE TESTS OF


    JUSTIFICATION AS WE HAVE SHOWN
    ABOVE, OPINIONS WILL HAVE TO BE
    DEFENDED WITH BETTER REASON
    TO STRENGTHEN THEM.
    HOW TO CRITICALLY
    EXAMINE OPINIONS
    WHOEVER MAKES THE
    OPINION MUST BE ABLE
    TO ARGUE FOR IT IN THE
    MOST REASONABLE WAYS
    WHAT IS AN ARGUMENT?

    AN ARGUMENT IS A
    GROUP OF STATEMENT
    THAT SERVE TO SUPPORT
    A CONCLUSION
    EXAMPLE

    “THERE IS NO HOPE IN
    THE PHILIPPINES”
    ARGUMENTS

    THIS IS NOT YET AN


    ARGUMENT. IT IS AN
    EXPRESSION OF
    OPINION
    ARGUMENTS

    IF THE PERSON WANTS TO


    CONVINCE ANOTHER PERSON
    THAT HIS/HER OPINION IS TRUE
    HE MUST PROVIDE REASONS
    TO SUPPORT HIS/HER CLAIM
    EXAMPLE OF AN ARGUMENT

    “THERE IS NO HOPE IN THE


    PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT
    BECAUSE MANY OFFICIALS ARE
    CORRUPT, AND FILIPINO VOTERS
    CONTINUE TO ELECT THEM”.
    ARGUMENT/CLAIM
    “THERE IS NO HOPE IN THE PHILIPPINE
    GOVERNMENT

    REASON A REASON B

    GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FILIPINO VOTERS


    ARE CORRUPT CONTINUE TO ELECT THEM

    THIS WHAT AN ARGUMENT LOOKS LIKE


    CLAIM PREMISES
    (THE REASONS USED
    (THE CONCLUSION OF
    TO SUPPORT THE
    AN ARGUMENT)
    CONCLUSION)
    ARGUMENT

    CLEARLY, NOT ALL


    ARGUMENTS ARE GOOD
    ARGUMENTS
    LOGIC

    BRANCH OF PHILOSOPHY
    THAT STUDIES AND
    ELABORATES ON GOOD
    ARGUMENTS
    FALLACIES
    FALLACIES

    GROUP OF STATEMENTS
    THAT APPEARS TO BE
    ARGUMENTS, BUT FAIL TO
    SUPPORT THE CONCLUSION.
    EXAMPLE

    CLAIM PREMISE
    THERE IS NO HOPE BECAUE THE
    IN THE PHILIPPINES IS A
    PHILIPPINES TROPICAL COUNTRY
    FALLACIES

    HOWEVER, FALLACY CAN


    BE TRICKIER THAN THE
    EXAMPLE
    FALLACIES

    THEY USUALLY COME IN


    THE GUISE OF WELL
    ARTICULATED
    ARGUMENTS
    IN SUMMARY

    • OPINIONS ARE STATEMENTS OF JUDGEMENT OF A


    PERSON ABOUT SOMETHING IN THE WORLD. WE
    SHOULD NOT TAKE THEM AS IMMEDIATELY TRUE.
    • WE SHOULD ALWAYS CRITICALLY EXAMINE THE
    OPINION AND ITS SUPPORTING ARGUMENTS.
    • WE SHOULD ALSO BE WARY OF STRONGLY PUT
    ARGUMENTS BUT ON DEEP INTROSPECTION ARE
    ACTUALLY FALLACIOUS.
    IN SUMMARY

    • TO BE ABLE TO HOLD

    CREDENCE OPINIONS SHOULD PASS


    FURTHER JUSTIFICATION.
