First, you have your claim. For example, Descartes wanted to know if doubting was a way to reliable knowledge. He used this argument form to show that it was. First, he assumed what his "opposition" the empiricists would argue about what could be doubted, such as dreams, illusions, the senses, and then, what if you could doubt everything? If so, then the opposition would have proven that doubting does not lead to certain knowledge. Descartes' refutation is the "I think, therefore, I am," part. There were two things he could not doubt, himself as existing and thinking. This proof of not being able to doubt two things refutes his opposition's argument that you could doubt everything. There are at least two things he could not doubt, so the case for everything was refuted. In both cases, the opposition and refutation, the person has to think of both sides. But both sides should be obvious. Descartes was a rationalist, so his opponents would have empirical arguments. Darwin was an evolutionist, so his opponents would be creationists, and so on. . . .
All of the above
A counterargument is used in persuasive writing to acknowledge and address potential objections or opposing viewpoints. By presenting and refuting counterarguments, the writer can strengthen their own argument by showing that they have considered different perspectives and can still argue in favor of their position. This can make the overall argument more convincing to the audience.
