Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

Rifka’s argument

Premise: If we’re not lost, then we don’t need to stop and ask for directions.


Assumption: We’re not lost.


Conclusion: We don’t need to stop and ask for directions.


Craig’s counter-argument

Premise: We are lost.


Conclusion: We do need to stop (and ask for directions, presumably).

Describe Method of Reasoning

Craig contradicts Rifka’s assumption (that they are not lost) in order to land on a contradictory conclusion (that they do need to stop and ask for directions).
