Logic

courtroom argumentation studies have become a meeting point for scholars from forensics, linguistics, psychology and many other disciplines. Generally speaking, in line with Aristotle’s argumentation theory (2007), which emphasises on the trichotomy of logic, dialectic and rhetoric, there are three distinguished approaches to courtroom argumentation studies: the logical, the dialogical and the rhetorical.

pointing out the logical problems in this supposedly better view of pluralism.  He cites the logical laws of the excluded middle and non-contradiction as examples of two such problems.  Even to non-Christians with little knowledge of philosophy or logic could clearly see that Hick's views don't even make good common sense. The conclusion to chapter 3 sums up the system really well. Nash states, “His distinction between the phenomenal gods and the noumenal God only serves to plunge him

to display an intimate look at the lives of these men with a proposition that they need help. Help that they cannot give themselves. Help that is not easy accessible. This claim is presented and reinforced by appealing to the audience’s emotion and logic with the use of strategic camera shots, education or experience-backed testimonials, and the pattern of a vicious cycle.

read, and understand English as most Americans speak it. There’s nothing cruel or unfair in that, it’s just the way it is”. This quote is a pinnacle piece in Jamieson’s argument. During the essay, he uses the quote and picks out each flaw in the logic of the statement. If he decided to omit the quote from the essay he would lose a great example from his counter argument.

Socrates helps Euthyphro to give meaning to the word ‘piety ', and this serves to bring a new meaning to the respect to the divine beings and help in the explanation of the whole context of the divinity in the society.

Many philosophers have posed the question: How can I prove that God exists? Thomas Aquinas attempted to prove the existence of God in a rational way through his Cosmological argument. Aquinas argued that every event as we observe it has a cause and a casual chain cannot be infinite. Therefore, a first cause is necessary and this cause is God. Aquinas’ argument is unsuccessful because it assumes that God is a necessary being, fails to prove that the world is not an infinite chain of events, and
