Explain what the skeptic means and raise some objections to this line of reasoning: explain the process of clarifying arguments. (don"t merely list the steps: explain what they mean. ) 3: apply the charity principle, regiment the argument. Identify all implicit premises: explain why following the charity principle is important. In light of our readings and discussions, compare and contrast philosophy and science. In addition : review the process for clarifying arguments (5 steps) and regimenting arguments (2 steps). Be prepared to do a little of both on the exam with some examples. You"ll likely have a few short passages to read and will be required to extract and regiment the arguments in those passages: regimenting an argument. List each part on its own line.
