Formal Argument Reconstruction

8 weeks · 0 milestones

Reconstruct a real philosophical argument from a named primary text into standard logical form: premises explicitly numbered, logical structure diagrammed, validity assessed, and at least one potential objection identified and answered. The primary text and the specific argument being reconstructed must both be named and cited. Proof is your reconstruction plus a challenge from a philosophy academic or logician who confirms the accuracy of your reconstruction and asks you to identify a second argument structure in the same text that you did not include — whether you find it and your analysis of its relationship to the first argument are part of the proof.
