Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the context of logic and critical thinking, "argument" refers to the process of offering rational support for a conclusion. This is done by making a number of claims (the premises) that, taken together, provide evidence for another claim (the conclusion). Arguments do not merely attempt to persuade; they provide adequate reason to be persuaded.
