Why We Still Do Not Know What a “Real” Argument Is

چکیده
In his recent paper, “What a Real Argument is,” Ben Hamby attempts to provide an adequate theoretical account of “real” arguments. In this paper I present and evaluate both Hamby’s motivation for distinguishing “real” from non-“real” arguments and his articulation of the distinction. I argue that neither is adequate to ground a theoretically significant class of “real” arguments, for the articulation fails to pick out a stable proper subclass of all arguments that is simultaneously both theoretically relevant and a proper subclass of all arguments. Résumé: Dans son récent article, «What a Real Argument is», Ben Hamby tente de fournir une explication théorique adéquate des arguments «réels». Dans cet article, je présente et évalue la motivation de Hamby pour distinguer les arguments «réels» des arguments "non-réels" et pour communiquer cette distinction. Je soutiens qu’aucune de ces motivations est suffisante pour justifier une classe théoriquement importante d'arguments «réels», car il ne réussit pas à identifier une sous-classe appropriée stable de tous les arguments qui est en même temps à la fois théoriquement pertinente et une sous-classe appropriée de tous les arguments.
