ABSTRACT
This chapter begins that exploration by contrasting the present problem with that facing the support of a descriptive proposition. Empirical enquiry can't establish moral propositions. Having a well thought-out ethical stance involves argumentation in which reasons are advanced for a view. Arguments are clearly laid out in a structured form with supporting propositions leading to the proposition being argued. Arguing for a position is more than merely asserting it, it is reasoning in its support providing an argument with the reasons constituting premises of such an argument. Methodically analyse each line in your argument structure to ascertain whether your first go at classifying/labelling it is correct or not. If no inference word is present in the feral argument, try inserting inference words between that argument's propositions to see which sort fits, or 'flows'. Sometimes murkiness is at the level of whole propositions; make sure that what is said is not open to misinteipretation.
