[20:10] *** pchicaq has joined #philosophy

[20:10] <pchicaq> hello mr. Archie

[20:11] <larchie> Hi

[20:11] <pchicaq> whooooooooo I'm glad i found the chat

[20:11] <larchie> I think you are the first to sign in

[20:11] <larchie> Any questions?

[20:11] <pchicaq> yes

[20:11] <pchicaq> on the online test

[20:12] <pchicaq> it only have informal falacies

[20:12] <pchicaq> does that mean we are having our test on the fallacies

[20:12] <pchicaq> ?

[20:12] <larchie> Right--the test covers fallacies and agreements and disagreements

[20:13] <larchie> Most of the test is the fallacies.

[20:14] <pchicaq> will you give us examples for the disagreements and disagreements and we would have to tell you, who disagrees, like the first quiz?

[20:15] <larchie> Yes, like the quiz and the exercises in the syllabus.

[20:15] <pchicaq> ook...

[20:15] <pchicaq> my next question.

[20:16] <larchie> sure

[20:16] <pchicaq> how would me and sarah be able to simplify false cause and not get it confused with the other fallacies

[20:17] <larchie> Study http://philosophy.lander.edu/logic/cause.html carefully

[20:18] <larchie> Look at the examples. The fallacy is what it is--it really can't be simplified, if I know what you mean.

[20:19] <larchie> False cause only applies to events--not hasty generalizations or "jumping to a conclusion"

[20:19] <larchie> It imvolves sequences or connections of states of affairs or events with the implication that one "produced" or caused the other to happen.

[20:23] <pchicaq> ok that explaines it

[20:25] <larchie> Be careful not to "see it everywhere"--some people think of "false cause" as "fallacy" or somehow the premisses causing the conclusion.

[20:25] <larchie> The fallacy is very much like the two structures described online

Chat For Review for Test II Fallacies and Language

[20:43] *** pchicaq has joined #philosophy

[20:44] <pchicaq> Hello there! I'm back!

[20:44] <larchie> o k

[20:46] <pchicaq> what catagory will declarative fall under, imformative, expressive or directive.

[20:47] <larchie> It could be all or any.

[20:47] <pchicaq> just like interogative and exclamatory?

[20:47] <larchie> The test just covers agreements and disagreements from that chapter.

[20:48] <pchicaq> ok

[20:48] <larchie> Sentence types include declarative, etc.--these are the kinds of sentences.

[20:49] <larchie> The informative, expressive, are the uses for those sentences.

[20:51] <pchicaq> alrighty

[20:53] <pchicaq> I want an "A" on this test. so what are the probabilities that I will get an 'A'?

[20:54] <pchicaq> by the second test (looking back on other semesters) what are the odds

[20:54] <pchicaq> :)

[20:55] <larchie> I'm not sure what you are asking. The test isn't really a matter of luck--see the syllabus and website for study hints.
