Historical Foundations of Informal Logic
ISBN: 9781859725887 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In just the last twenty years there has arisen a strong interest, especially among teachers of logic at the universities, in teaching techniques of applied logical reasoning and critical thinking. Many universities are now stressing these skills at an introductory level, and to meet the need, informal logic has begun to form and grow as a discipline in its own right. Like all subjects, it helps us to understand it if we can situate it in a context of historical development. This collection of essays provides the readings required to understand the development of a subject whose historical...

The New Dialectic: Conversational Contexts of Argument
ISBN: 9780802079879 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Because developments in informal logic have been based, for the most part, on idealized and abstract models, the tools available for argument analysis are not easily adapted to the needs of everyday argumentation. In this book Douglas Walton proposes a new and practical approach to argument analysis based on his theory that different standards for argument must apply in the case of different types of dialogue. By refining and extending the existing formal classifications of dialogue, Walton shows that each dialogue type, be it inquiry, negotiation, or critical discussion, has its own...

Character Evidence: An Abductive Theory
ISBN: 9781402049422 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The theory in the book is based on the latest research in argumentation theory, and especially on new applications of artificial intelligence (AI) to legal argumentation. The methodology of the book derives from recent work in argumentation theory and AI in which forms of reasoning other than deductive and inductive have been the focus of much investigation. The aim is not just to show how character judgments are made, but to show how they should properly be made based on sound reasoning, in order to avoid certain fallacies, errors and superficial judgments of a kind that are common. The book...

Scare Tactics: Arguments That Appeal to Fear and Threats
ISBN: 9789048155521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Scare Tactics, the first book on the subject, provides a theory of the structure of reasoning used in fear and threat appeal argumentation. Such arguments come under the heading of the argumentum ad baculum, the argument to the stick/club', traditionally treated as a fallacy in the logic textbooks. The new dialectical theory is based on case studies of many interesting examples of the use of these arguments in advertising, public relations, politics, international negotiations, and everyday argumentation on all kinds of subjects. Many of these arguments are amusing, once you...

Witness Testimony Evidence: Argumentation and the Law
ISBN: 9780521707701 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Recent work in artificial intelligence has increasingly turned to argumentation as a rich, interdisciplinary area of research that can provide new methods related to evidence and reasoning in the area of law. Douglas Walton provides an introduction to basic concepts, tools and methods in argumentation theory and artificial intelligence as applied to the analysis and evaluation of witness testimony. He shows how witness testimony is by its nature inherently fallible and sometimes subject to disastrous failures. At the same time such testimony can provide evidence that is not only necessary but...

Appeal to Expert Opinion-Pod, Ls@
ISBN: 9780271016955 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) A new pragmatic approach, based on the latest developments in argumentation theory, analyzing appeal to expert opinion as a form of argument. Reliance on authority has always been a common recourse in argumentation, perhaps never more so than today in our highly technological society when knowledge has become so specialized--as manifested, for instance, in the frequent appearance of "expert witnesses" in courtrooms. When is an appeal to the opinion of an expert a reasonable type of argument to make, and when does it become a fallacy? This book provides a method for the evaluation of...

Argument Evaluation and Evidence
ISBN: 9783319196251 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This monograph poses a series of key problems of evidential reasoning and argumentation. It then offers solutions achieved by applying recently developed computational models of argumentation made available in artificial intelligence. Each problem is posed in such a way that the solution is easily understood. The book progresses from confronting these problems and offering solutions to them, building a useful general method for evaluating arguments along the way. It provides a hands-on survey explaining to the reader how to use current argumentation methods and concepts that are...

Argumentation Methods for Artificial Intelligence in Law
ISBN: 9783540251873 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) During a recent visit to China to give an invited lecture on legal argumentation I was asked a question about conventional opinion in western countries. If legal r- soning is thought to be important by those both inside and outside the legal prof- sion, why does there appear to be so little attention given to the study of legal logic? This was a hard question to answer. I had to admit there were no large or well-established centers of legal logic in North America that I could recommend as places to study. Going through customs in Vancouver, the customs officer asked what I had been doing in...

Fallacies Arising from Ambiguity
ISBN: 9789048147175 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 293 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) We are happy to present to the reader the first book of our Applied Logic Series. Walton's book on the fallacies of ambiguity is firmly at the heart of practical reasoning, an important part of applied logic. There is an increasing interest in artifIcial intelligence, philosophy, psychol- ogy, software engineering and linguistics, in the analysis and possible mechanisation of human practical reasoning. Continuing the ancient quest that began with Aristotle, computer scientists, logicians, philosophers and linguists are vigorously seeking to deepen our understanding of human reasoning and...

Abductive Reasoning
ISBN: 9780817357825 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book examines three areas in which abductive reasoning is especially important: medicine, science, and law. The reader is introduced to abduction and shown how it has evolved historically into the framework of conventional wisdom in logic. Discussions draw upon recent techniques used in artificial intelligence, particularly in the areas of multi-agent systems and plan recognition, to develop a dialogue model of explanation. Cases of causal explanations in law are analyzed using abductive reasoning, and all the components are finally brought together to build a new account of abductive...

Arguments from Ignorance - Ppr.
ISBN: 9780271014753 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Arguments from Ignorance explores the situations in which the argument from ignorance (also known as the lack-of-knowledge inference, negative evidence, or default reasoning) functions as a respectable form of reasoning and those in which it is indeed fallacious. Douglas Walton draws on everyday conversations on all kinds of practical matters in which the argumentum ad ignorantiam is used quite appropriately to infer conclusions. He also discusses the inappropriate use of this kind of argument, referring to various major case studies, including the Salem witchcraft...
