26Principle of [blank_start]Charity[blank_end]: When reconstructing an argument, make the argument as strong as possible; formulate a reconstruction that is well-formed, has reasonable premises, and is undefeated (for inductive arguments).
---Principle of [blank_start]Charity[blank_end] is important because independent of any disagreement, arguments help us determine what to believe and for what reasons
---If following Principle of [blank_start]Charity[blank_end] leads us to reconstruct a stronger argument than someone intended, at least we avoid wasting our time by considering their weaker argument
---If we don’t follow Principle of [blank_start]Charity[blank_end], we may miss the opportunity to consider a stronger version of an argument that may lead us to take seriously a certain view view- ACharity
- BCharity
- CCharity
- DCharity
27Principle of Charity: When [blank_start]reconstructing[blank_end] an argument, make the argument as [blank_start]strong[blank_end] as possible; formulate a [blank_start]reconstruction[blank_end] that is [blank_start]well-formed[blank_end], has [blank_start]reasonable[blank_end] premises, and is [blank_start]undefeated[blank_end] (for inductive arguments).
---Principle of Charity is important because independent of any [blank_start]disagreement[blank_end], arguments help us determine what to [blank_start]believe[blank_end] and for what [blank_start]reasons[blank_end]
---If following Principle of Charity leads us to reconstruct a [blank_start]stronger[blank_end] argument than someone intended, at least we avoid wasting our time by considering their [blank_start]weaker[blank_end] argument
---If we don’t follow Principle of Charity, we may miss the opportunity to consider a [blank_start]stronger[blank_end] version of an argument that may lead us to take seriously a certain view view- Areconstructing
