Quite simply, I taught the textbook. Actually, though, its very common in CT to distinguish between explanations and arguments. Not all explanations are "conclusions regarding causation". I suppose for those that are, your objection would hold good. Generally, explanations do something different than argument

Great lecture! It is actually making sense to me now! The way you explain it makes it seem so simple. My professor just told us to read the textbook and the textbook didn't make any sense at all. I think I will actually do well in my class because of your videos! Thank you!!!!

This is a good video because you stuck to the point. For example, even when you were talking about 'explanations' at 15:00 you showed how they are NOT arguments.

about his statement : "any american can go to college, but not in France or Germany, where you must be cleaver enought to be selected" Exact ! but Wrong on the financial aspect. In France, College costs nothing, and in USA ( if my informations are right ) you must be rich enought to pay for your college studies. So, selection by intellectual capability in France, versus selection by financial means in USA.

Followup question: Why did you choose to make a dichotomy between explanations and arguments? Explanations are conclusions regarding causation. (I typed this because I had a question). Conclusions are parts of arguments. Therefore, explanations are parts of arguments as well.
@thomassmart422710 жыл бұрын
I actually think that the last arguments premise is that the world has changed with the conclusion that it should challenge us. The supporting claims were the premises he used.

Explanation: "Dr. Sadler is upset because his class doesn't understand the concept of democracy." Argument: "Because his class doesn't understand the concept of democracy, Dr. Sadler is probably upset."

And I'd go on to say that although many Americans have a college education, they still are not critical thinkers and base many of their beliefs on superstition and supernatural beliefs, rather than on rational reasoning and evidence. I point to the number of religious people in the US. I am making the assumption that the value of an education is in your ability to reason, not your ability to make money. Unfortunately, many Americans think that moneymaking trumps reasoning ability.

what is the difference ? democracy = from δῆμος (dêmos) "people" and κράτος (kratos) "power" republic = a form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter" (Latin: res publica) these are WIKIPEDIA définitions, which both lead to understand : " people runs the country " , but what do YOU mean ?
@Veloriumcamper34511 жыл бұрын
a republic is part of the federalism. learn your government. we have multiple branches. the republic format is through the senate, but could also be referring to the house, and legislative branch as a whole, which was was deemed the most important by the founders. Regardless, the pledge was made in the late 1800s, and although adopted in the 1940's, does not necessarily provide any evidence that the United states is a republic. If you would simply look up the definitions for each, you could see.
