You ask good questions; feelings, I waver on. I think that they can be evidence, but as support only and in addition to other evidence. A logical argument, or reason, I could see where it could technically be counted as evidence, but I would normally separate them, with evidence being a part of ones reasons.
Good point, I'll try to limit the amount of questions I ask in one go.
So let's get logical question out of the way first....so are you saying that with a logical argument, you'd only accept that it represents reality if it's both sound and also that there's evidence that the argument is true.
Have I summed up your position on this correctly?
Actually I was talking about increasing the questions in one post. If it won’t interrupt the flow of you approach. I can understand wanting to build a flow of logic.
As to your question.
No, while it’s going to be dependent on the particulars of the the claim/argument, I wouldn’t agree that physical evidence is always necessary, to bolster the reasons. Would you say that you have a lower view of logic in this way?
