6.1 Argument

Article 178 - Conclusion

Canon 2574 (link)

A Conclusion, also known as a “deduction” is a Form of end, finish, result or decision derived through inference and the application of logic and reasoning. A Conclusion is also the third proposition of a syllogism, deduced from two prior premises (major and minor).

Canon 2575 (link)

The word Conclusion is derived from the Latin concludo meaning “to shut up, to enclose, to end, to round off”.

Canon 2576 (link)

A Form of end, finish, result or decision that is not derived through inference and the application of logic and reasoning cannot be defined as a valid Conclusion.

Canon 2577 (link)

All arguments as matters of law must be resolved through valid Conclusion.
