Chapter 7 Question 3

One concept from chapter 7 which impressed me is the evaluating causal arguments. It really reminds me and teaches me a lesson that the conclusion should not go beyond the premises. Whenever we have some information, we should first do some kind of research base on the topic that is about. In order to make sure whether the information is correct or not, fairish research is needed. According to the chapter, causal arguments can never be 100 percent certain like other inductive argument. In this case, it is important that we have to clarify clearly the conclusions we made are not equal to the facts. On the other hand, the term “probably” or “maybe” should be used in the conclusion if the cause stated in the premise is a sufficient cause. Practice makes perfect. We should learn how to recognize and be able to analyze causal relationships. Overall, it is important to do enough research before we make any conclusion.
