Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

Yes, logical possibility is a matter of whether a proposition is consistent with the laws of logic, such as the Principle of Noncontradiction. So as long as there are no false premises, you could say the proposition is 'logically' possible. However, a valid argument isn't necessarily a sound one, as you demonstrate. The premises of the argument have to be true as well. So this is not a matter of logic, but rather empirical evidence. |
