For as long as people have reasoned philosophically, they have noticed that there is something about successful arguments which compels any rational listener to either embrace the conclusion or, barring that, to offer equally compelling reasons for rejecting it. Indeed, what makes for a compelling reason is a matter worthy of careful investigation. Compelling reasons come in various forms-from the extremely compelling deductive arguments of formal logic, to the comparatively weak forms of everyday presumptive reasoning. While we will cover some of the former, we will focus our study of philosophical argument on the various forms of non-deductive argument-inductive, presumptive, and defeasible argument. While our aim is to participate in the exploration of argument, our goal will be the decidedly practical one of analyzing actual arguments in ordinary language.
