Abstract

That bootstrapping and Moorean reasoning fail to instantiate persuasive argumentation is an often informally presented but not systematically developed view. In this paper, I will argue that this unpersuasiveness is not determined by principles of justification transmission but by two straightforward principles of rationality, understood as a concept of internal coherence. First, it is rational for S to believe the conclusion of an argument because of the argument, only if S believes sufficiently many premises of the argument. Second, if S doubts that a source O is reliable and believes that information i is delivered by O, then S rationally suspends judgment about the truth of i. This paper aims to accomplish two tasks. First, it provides a thorough analysis of why bootstrapping argumentation is not an instance of rational persuasion. Second, it contains a more general theory about preconditions and limits of persuasive argumentation.

引导和有说服力的论证

引导式推理和摩尔式推理无法实现有说服力的论证，这是一个经常被非正式提出但却没有被系统阐述的观点。在本文中，我将论证这种不说服力不是由理由传递原则决定的，而是由两个直接的理性原则决定的，这两个原则可以理解为内部一致性的概念。首先，只有当 S 相信足够多的论证前提时，S 因为论证而相信论证结论才是理性的。其次，如果 S 怀疑信息源 O 是可靠的，并相信信息 i 是由 O 传递的，那么 S 就会理性地暂缓判断 i 的真实性。首先，本文深入分析了引导论证为何不是理性说服的一个实例。其次，本文包含了关于说服论证的前提条件和限制的更一般的理论。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
