Summary
In Chapter 2, we examined the structure of simple and complex arguments. But whether the arguments were simple or complex, we treated them in isolation, as if we wanted to show what an argument of one kind or another might look like – as an end in itself. Put another way, we wanted to show how we could express beliefs as different series of related statements.
