Question

Is is always easy to isolate an argument in a speech or written piece??

Answer 1

No!  It is very difficult because the philosophical argument is FREQUENTLY not presented in a logical manner EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE. The words used in the argument are meant in ways that may differ, not having been agreed to by the parties(author-speaker & audience) ahead of time. Philosophical communication is a million times more difficult than ordinary communication of ideas. There are high intellectual standards to be meet.  Differences in culture, language & logic competency and the differences in ego experience are serious communicational difficulties.  Many educated minds in synch is necessary esp if it's about inductions rather than deductive tautologies. But there is much more to be said to those who think doing philosphy is mere subjective assertion!
