Abstract

In this paper, we will explore two initiatives that focus on the importance of employing logical theories in educating people how to think and reason properly, one in Poland: The Lvov-Warsaw School; the other in North America: The Informal Logic Initiative. These two movements differ in the logical means and skills that they focus on. However, we believe that they share a common purpose: to educate students in logic and reasoning (logical education conceived as a process) so that they may be able to apply their skills to analyze the issues in their society (logical culture as a result of logical education). The aim of the paper is to justify this claim by exploring research objectives and products that are common to both movements.

2. A critique of Suits's (alleged) counterexample to Wittgenstein's position on the definability of 'game'.

Abstract

A central theme in the philosophy of sport literature is the definability of games. According to Thomas Hurka, and others, the argument presented by Bernard Suits in The Grasshopper (1978) refutes Wittgenstein's claim that there is no aspect common to all games. We challenge Suits's understanding of Wittgenstein's views about definition, showing that Wittgenstein is not anti-definitional. Instead, we argue, Wittgenstein is against thinking that all definitions must be essentialist. We also argue that Suits fails to find a feature common to all games. We conclude, then, that Suits has failed to refute Wittgenstein's views on the definability of games. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

8. On Distinguishing Between an Objection and a Criticism

Author

Johnson, Ralph H

Subjects
Philosophy, Arts and Humanities
Abstract

One way in which the arguer can satisfy the demands of objectivity is by taking into account appropriate dialectical material such as objections, criticisms, counterarguments, alternative positions etc. In this paper, I will argue that there are important differences between a criticism and an objection; that is to say, we should make a distinction between them. In the paper, I will do the following. First, I will review some pertinent literature. Second, I will give my reasons for thinking there is a distinction. Here I will be relying on insights from J. L. Austin and L. Wittgenstein. Third, I will make the distinction between an objection and a criticism by providing a definition of each term with appropriate supporting considerations. Finally, I will give my reasons for believing that the distinction is an important one by showing its utility in argumentation theory.
