    understand our arguments. Explain what advantages
    we obtain by studying logic in terms of improving
    our reasoning. Consider a debate over whether
    prayer should be allowed in public schools.
    Explain what logic can and cannot do. In other
    words, what kinds of questions and topics are not
    decided by logical analysis?

    different arguments that display distinct
    fallacies. Give an explanation of why each makes
    a mistake in drawing the conclusion it does.

    in fact, commit the fallacy identified.

    history classes, one in the morning and one in
    the afternoon. Yesterday she gave the same test
    to both classes. Anyone who failed the test must
    take a retest. Since a greater percentage of
    students who took the morning test failed the
    test than students who took the afternoon test,
    more of Orlofs morning history students than
    afternoon history students will have to take the
    retest.

  •  DQ 1 As stated in our text book scientists
    design experiments and try to obtain results
    verifying or disproving a hypothesis, but
    philosophers are the driving force in determining
    what factors determine the validity of scientific
    results. (Mosser, 2011). Karl Popper's
    philosophy of science uses modus as the central
    method of disconfirming, or falsifying,
    scientific hypotheses.
