What is an argument? I had always thought arguments were easy to start and quite simple in understanding how to argue. I had not realized that there were different types of arguments whether it be sophistic, socratic, valid, or invalid, and so on and so forth.
It makes me wonder whether the arguments I have had in my life or have heard and seen were ever really arguments at all. Do people who think they are aruging aware that they might not even be arguing at all? Are they aware that perhaps what they think is a justified argument is not backed up by any premises? Learning about arguments has given me a new insite on how to argue and hopefully be able to tell others what they are arguing about is not a real arugment and on how to argue with someone.
