31
Q

6 types of warrants

A

Warrant Based on Generalization: What is true for some is likely true
for the whole.

  1. Warrant Based on Analogy: What is true of one situation is likely true
    of another, so long as they share key characteristics.
  2. Warrant Based on Sign: One thing indicates the presence or outcome
    of something else. For example, we can diagnose an illness or disease
    by its symptoms.
  3. Warrant Based on Causality: One thing causes another. For
    example, eating too much sugar is the cause of numerous health
    conditions.
  4. Warrant Based on Authority: An indication that something is true
    because an authority or group of authorities affirms it to be true. For
    example, nearly all of the planet’s scientists claim that climate change is
    real.
  5. Warrant Based on Principle: An agreed-upon value or rule applied to
    a specific scenario. For example, parents should love and respect their
    children is a widely-shared value. Backing (or refuting) that this value
    should apply to a specific parent in question might be the goal of an
    attorney in a criminal trial
