LOGICAL ARGUMENTATIVE (L.A)-SPECTURM
Paradigmatic Innovation
A priori Argumentation

Logical argumentative on framework tend to inter disciplinary

Primary & Secondary Logical framework

TACTICS
Defining first principles-quality , quantity & origin

Defining relationship

Relationship between terms-

1.Necessity,
2.Deduction/ Induction,
3. A priori(previous experience)/A posteriori(fact or truth that are
established)
