Think with Socrates Does Not Contain a Section on Enthymemes

question 176

Short Answer

Think with Socrates does not contain a section on enthymemes. However, the concept can be defined briefly. This exercise defines an enthymeme and gives students a chance to practice filling in holes in incomplete deductive arguments.
An enthymeme is an argument that is missing one or more premises or a conclusion. Each of the following deductive arguments is missing either a premise or a conclusion. (Thus, each is an enthymeme.) Add a statement to each so as to turn the enthymeme into a valid argument.
-If it rains, then the streets will become wet. If it snows, then the streets will become white. Therefore, either it will not rain, or it will not snow.
