Abstract

The fallacy fallacy is either the misdiagnosis of fallacy or the supposition that the conclusion of a fallacy must be a falsehood. This paper explores the relevance of these and related errors of reasoning for the appraisal of arguments, especially within virtue theories of argumentation. In particular, the fallacy fallacy exemplifies the Owl of Minerva problem, whereby tools devised to understand a norm make possible new ways of violating the norm. Fallacies are such tools and so are vices. Hence a similar problem arises with argumentative vices. Fortunately, both instances of the problem have a common remedy.

谬论：从密涅瓦的猫头鹰到阿雷特的云雀

谬误谬误要么是对谬误的误解，要么是认为谬误的结论一定是谬误的假设。本文探讨了这些推理错误和相关推理错误对论证评价的相关性，特别是在论证的美德理论中。特别是，谬论是Minerva猫头鹰问题的例证，通过该问题，为理解规范而设计的工具使违反规范的新方法成为可能。谬论就是这样的工具，罪恶也是如此。因此，爱争论的恶习也出现了类似的问题。幸运的是，这两个问题都有共同的解决方法。
