Whately on Arguments Involving Authority University of Windsor
Résumé: L’opinion de Richard Whately sur les arguments dans lesquels on fait appel à une autorité est très différente dans Elements of Rhetoric et dans Elements of Logic. On commence cet essai en décrivant ces différences et en se demandant pourquoi elles existent. Ensuite on prend une approche plus large et plus historique de ses discussions d’autorité et on découvre que Whately occupe une pla...
متن کاملAuthority and Mathematical Argumentation 1 Running head: AUTHORITY AND MATHEMATICAL ARGUMENTS The Effect of Authority on the Persuasiveness of Mathematical Arguments
Three experiments are reported which investigate the extent to which an authority figure influences the level of persuasion undergraduate students and research-active mathematicians invest in mathematical arguments. We demonstrate that, in some situations, both students and researchers rate arguments as being more persuasive when they are associated with an expert mathematician than when the au...
متن کاملTwo Kinds of Arguments from Authority in the Ad Verecundiam Fallacy
In this paper, an argumentation scheme for argument from an administrative authority is formulated along with a matching set of critical questions used to evaluate it. The scheme is then compared to the existing scheme for argument from expert opinion. The hypothesis is explored that it is the ambiguity between the two types of authority that is the best basis for explaining how the fallacy of ...
متن کاملDiagonal arguments and fixed points
A universal schema for diagonalization was popularized by N.S. Yanofsky (2003), based on a pioneering work of F.W. Lawvere (1969), in which the existence of a (diagonolized-out and contradictory) object implies the existence of a fixed-point for a certain function. It was shown that many self-referential paradoxes and diagonally proved theorems can fit in that schema. Here, we fi...
متن کاملOn Privacy and Partition Arguments
A function and f (x1, x2, . . . , xn) is said to be t-private if there exists a (randomized) communication protocol for computing f , such that no coalition of at most t participants can infer any additional information from the execution of the protocol other than what follows from their inputs and the value of f . It is known that every n-argument function f defined over finite domains can be...
