Did you perhaps mean: defending the assertion with arguments built upon explicitly stated premises?
- b_tterc_p 7y agoI’m all for pedantry here but I’m not sure this one makes a difference. From my understanding a premise is a statement from which you draw a larger conclusion. You’re saying you draw arguments from premises to support assertions... but as far as I can tell the formation of the sub argument is just making an assertion supported by premises to begin with, the formation of which acts as a premise to support the larger assertion. So I’m not sure I see the difference
