    What Is A Proposition? Why Should Proposition Be The Subject of Argumentation?

    Uploaded by

    Kate Cepeda Manliguez
    A proposition is a complete statement with a subject and predicate that can be affirmed or denied. Propositions are classified as factual or policy statements. Propositions should be the subject of argumentation because they assert a judgment that can be agreed or disagreed with, unlike broader terms which have no clear position to argue for or against. Propositions allow for debate over whether the statement is true or should be the policy, contained in a proposition as the unit of argument.

    What is a proposition?

    Why should proposition be the subject of


    argumentation?

    A proposition is defined as “an expression in words of an act of judgment.” It is


    expressed in a complete statement, with a subject and a predicate. It allows an
    affirmance and a denial. Generally, propositions are classified into: propositions of fact
    and propositions of policy. Proposition of facts aims at belief whereas proposition of
    policy aims at action.

    Proposition should be the subject of argumentation since it asserts an act of


    judgment which can be affirmed or denied. If a word, or a term would be the subject of
    argumentation, it would be difficult to prove since it is too broad and there would be
    nothing to argue about for there is no positive or negative point to take side.
