While we think it’s obvious what unstated premises we leave out of our arguments, it’s very important that we explicitly state them. The way you state your premises can determine the quality of your argument and whether you’re presenting a deductive or inductive one.
In the lecture below, we’ll practice determining what unstated premises would make an argument deductive vs. inductive.
**CORRECTION: At the 14:16 mark in the video, there is a typo in the unstated premise written on the screen. What I verbally say on the video is correct for Exercise 2-11 #5, but the text "…is a liberal" should read "…is NOT a liberal" on your screen.
