She can then design a suitable truth-table, and check whether there is any row or situation in which the premises are both true and the conclusion false.

The larger the sample, the greater the likelihood it is representative of the population as a whole, and thus the more likely inductive inferences made on the basis of it will be strong.

The chapters, all written by experts in the field, provide an overview of what arguments are, the different types of arguments one can expect to encounter in both philosophy and everyday life, and how to recognise common argumentative mistakes.

(Also known as sentential logic.) A formal logic used by philosophers which studies the logical relationships between propositions by distinguishing between atomic propositions, such as “Bob likes swimming” and “Bob won the 50m freestyle,” and the special logical terms which connect these propositions, known as the logical connectives.
