The Causal Argument website was very useful in helping me to really understand the concept of causal arguments. I learned that one of the most important uses for inductive reasoning is to argue causation. A causal argument is basically made when something occurs because of something else, like a cause and effect. The premise and claim of a causal argument have no significant difference, however each causal argument will be different for each party involved. The website explained that there were three key factors that determine the strength of a causal argument and they are:
1. How acceptable or demonstrable the implied comparison is
2. How likely the case of causation seems to be
3. How credible the “significant difference” or “only significant commonality” claim is
This website was very helpful in improving my understanding of causal arguments. Now I feel much more able to identify and analyze causal arguments.
Hello RL,
ReplyDeleteI really like your post about the Causal Argument website. You were very clear and I can understand the concept. I also like how you outlined your post and made the three key factors stand out and clear to understand. You did a great job in summarizing what causal argument meant. I agree that the website was very helpful and it helped me improved my understanding of causal arguments as well. I believe I am able to identify and analyze a causal argument if I ever see one. Overall, your post was good and next time you could possibly add in an example or two to make your post stronger.
