RECONSTRUCȚIA ARGUMENTELOR CU PROPOZIȚII CATEGORICE CA ARGUMENTE DE ORDINUL AL DOILEA
THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CATEGORICAL ARGUMENTS AS SECOND-ORDER ARGUMENTS

Summary/Abstract: This paper is a short application of the theoretical background for characterizing arguments as formed by two categorical (subject-predicate) propositions/assertions recently proposed by Jean H. M. Wagemans. According to Wagemans, any argument can be reconstructed either as an argument with simple categorical propositions or as an argument with assertions, where an assertion is simply a sentence containing a proposition as one of its terms. This paper extends the scope of the arguments virtually reconstructible as sets of assertions by adding a class of arguments which while do not have at least one term in common, they are not completely different either.
