Premise | |
A premise is an idea or theory on which a statement or action is based. For example, in the argument “All humans are mortal; Socrates is human; therefore, Socrates is mortal”, the first two statements are premises and the last one is the conclusion. Premise can also be used as a verb, meaning to base a theory, argument, etc. on an idea, thought, or belief. For example, “He premised his argument on several incorrect assumptions”. | |
