Abstract

The debate on the a fortiori and the universal that took place between April 1914 and April 1919 in the journal Mind has a double interest for argumentation theorists. First, the discussion is an example of a philosophical polylogue that exhibits the characteristics of a quasi-engaged dialogue (Blair Blair, J. A. (2012 [1998]). “The Limits of the Dialogue Model of Argument”. Argumentation 12, pp. 325–339. Reprinted in J.A. Blair, Groundwork in the Theory of Argumentation, pp. 231–244. Dordrecht: Springer, 2012.), confirming Blair’s hypothesis that journal papers and scholarly monographs can be analyzed as turns in non-engaged or quasi-engaged dialogues. It could be said that philosophical argumentation is dialectical but not dialogical. Second, the debate is a discussion in argumentation theory. Generalism in the theory of argument claims that the very possibility of arguing depends on a suitable supply of general rules that specify what kinds of conclusions can be drawn from what kinds of data, while particularism denies this. Although the terminology may be alien, I will also show that the debate on the a fortiori and the universal was a debate on generalism and particularism.

心灵中的无意识世界就像胃中的非物质晚餐。关于逻辑通论的争论（1914–1919）

1914年4月至1919年4月间，《心智》杂志上关于更强论和普遍论的辩论引起了辩论理论家的双重兴趣。首先，该讨论是一个哲学多元逻辑的例子，展现了准参与对话的特征（Blair Blair，J.a.（2012[1998]）。“辩论的对话模式的局限性”。论证12，第325–339页。转载于J.A.Blair，《论证理论的基础》，第231–244页。Dordrecht:Springer，2012.），证实了布莱尔的假设，即期刊论文和学术专著可以被分析为非参与或准参与对话的转折。可以说，哲学论证是辩证的，而不是对话的。第二，辩论是论辩理论中的一种讨论。论证理论中的一般主义认为，论证的可能性取决于适当的一般规则，这些规则规定了可以从什么样的数据中得出什么样的结论，而特殊主义否认了这一点。尽管这个术语可能是陌生的，但我也要表明，关于更强大和普遍性的辩论是关于普遍性和特殊性的辩论。
