What is the proposition and why
Not only coming to terms but making proposition occurs among traders as well as in the world books.
In chapter ten,we know “ come to terms ”is one of the important elements in books. Then in this chapter,we will know another important elements in books, making propositions.
A proposition in a book is also a declaration. It is an expression of the author's judgment about something. The author may tell us his intentions at the beginning in a preface.
The order of reading reverses the order of business somewhat. Businessmen come to terms after they find out what the propositions is.
It would be divided into three rules:
①Interpretation concerns words and terms.
②We are about to discuss, concerns, sentences and propositions.
③Deals with arguements of sorts.
(we go from terms to propositions to arguements,by going from words and phrases to sentences to collections of sentences or paragraphs.)
So, readers must must come to terms with author first, before they can find out what the author is proposing, and what the judgements he is declaring.
An arguement is always a set or series of statements of which some provide the grounds or reasons for what is to be concluded.
As in the case of the rule about words and terms,we are here also dealing with the relation of language and thought. Rules, they are also questions terms, proositions and arguments.
the last is the discovery of the major problems which the author tried to answer in the course of this book.when we are able to answer these questions,we can feel reasonally assured that we have managed to understand the book.
