logical form

Logical form is a way of representing the structure of a statement or argument to show its meaning clearly and precisely. It strips away specific words and focuses on the relationships between ideas, making it easier to analyze whether an argument is valid or sound. Think of it as translating a sentence into a standardized code that highlights its logical connections, rather than its particular wording. This process helps clarify reasoning, identify logical errors, and understand how different statements relate to each other within an argument.
