The famous quote is:
Argument of reason!
Argumentation with examples is a method in argumentative essays.
Argumentation by example is a method of argumentation from materials to viewpoints, from individual to general. It is a form of reasoning that summarizes a consistent conclusion from the analysis and research of many individual things. Using this method, you usually break down the thesis first and then draw the conclusion, that is, put forward the topic straight to the point, then use materials to prove the argument layer by layer around the topic, and finally summarize the conclusion. This structural method is more in line with people's thinking and understanding laws. The facts enumerated when making an argument using examples can be in two forms, namely summarizing the overall facts and enumerating individual facts. The persuasiveness of summarizing the overall facts lies in the universality embodied by the facts. It is a comprehensive statistics or summary of the overall or global facts. The argument method of enumerating individual examples does not require comprehensiveness and thoughtfulness, but only needs to enumerate a few examples. The enumerated examples require a certain degree of typicality, and at the same time, economic principles must be taken into consideration, and the same type should not be repeated as much as possible.
Example argument: List real, reliable, representative examples to prove your argument. By enumerating typical examples, the central argument is concretely and powerfully proven and the persuasiveness is enhanced.
Principal argument. Use reasoning methods, use incisive insights from classic works, famous quotes from ancient and modern Chinese and foreign celebrities, and recognized scientific principles, theorems, formulas, etc. to prove your point of view. For example, the tenth paragraph of "Talking about Reading" (9th class text of the People's Education Press) lists "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people intelligent, calculation makes people think sophisticated, philosophy makes people think deeply, ethics makes people thoughtful, logic It demonstrates the role of these six scientific knowledges "Rhetoric makes people good at discerning" and concludes that "knowledge can shape people's character". The enumeration is rich and detailed, and the conclusion drawn is convincing. Because the materials cited in the theoretical argument are scientific conclusions confirmed by objective reality, or truths recognized by people, they have theoretical authority and profound thought, and therefore have irrefutable power and persuasiveness.
In addition, citation argument is a type of logical argument, that is, it is an argument method that uses famous quotes or opinions of famous people as arguments to analyze problems and explain the truth with reference to classics. We must pay attention to the distinction and avoid confusion.
