Because the reading does not consist of philosophical texts but of instructional materials written specifically for students, in one case by me, I am adding no questions. The "Notes on Logic" restate much of what I explained in my lecture of Monday, Sept. 27 as well as explain some further terms and concepts. You should, after studying these notes, have an understanding of what an argument is and how to recognize when a passage contains one; you should understand what a premise is and what a conclusion is, and what the difference is between an intermediate conclusion and a final conclusion; and you should have some idea, however imperfect, of how to tell which statements in an argumentative passage are premises and which ones are conclusions. The ability to make determinations of the last-mentioned sort, however, is not one that can be acquired by most people in only a few hours of study: hence my saying only that you should have "some idea" of how to do it. We will be working further on this matter over the course of the semester.
