Defeasible a Priori Justification: a Reply to Thurow

چکیده

His defence, which focuses on premise (), consists in ‘arguing in § directly for premise () and responding to Casullo’s objections, and secondly by arguing in § for the contrapositive of ()’.2 I shall argue that Thurow’s response misconstrues my objection and that his positive arguments fall short of their goal. Since the objection which he considers is taken out of its original dialectical context, some background is necessary to set the stage for my response.

A Rgue ! - an Implemented System for Computer - Mediated Defeasible

This paper introduces the Argue!-system. It is an example of a system for computer-mediated defeasible argumentation, a new trend in the field of defeasible argumentation. In this research, computer systems are developed that can be used to mediate the process of argumentation of one or more users. Argument-mediation systems should be contrasted with systems for automated reasoning: the latter ...

Application of Argumentation for Improving the Classification Accuracy in Inductive Concept Formation

This paper contains the description of argumentation approach for the problem of inductive concept formation. It is proposed to use argumentation, based on defeasible reasoning with justification degrees, to improve the quality of classification models, obtained by generalization algorithms. The experiment’s results on both clear and noisy data are also presented. Keywords—Argumentation, justif...

Justification of Argumentation Schemes

Argumentation schemes are forms of argument that capture stereotypical patterns of human reasoning, especially defeasible ones like argument from expert opinion, that have proved troublesome to view deductively or inductively. Much practical work has already been done on argumentation schemes, proving their worth in  [19], but more precise investigations are needed to formalize their structur...

Artificial Intelligence Justification and defeat

This paper exhibits some problematic cases of defeasible or nonmonotonic reasoning that tend to be handled incorrectly by all of the theories of defeasible and nonmonotonic reasoning in the current literature. The paper focuses particularly on default logic, circumscription, and the author's own argument-based approach to defeasible reasoning. A proposal is made for how to deal with these probl...

Vindication : A Reply to Paul Teller

1. One of the few things about which I am optimistic is that we are close to a clear understanding of scientific inference. I think that, as a result of the work of many contributors, all the elements for a complete theory of scientific inference are at hand — although it is risky to say so, especially in view of the dramatic history of deductive logic after it was commonly supposed to have bee...
