The 'Comeback' Second Obama-Romney Debate And Virtues Of Argumentation, David Zarefsky
The 'Comeback' Second Obama-Romney Debate And Virtues Of Argumentation, David Zarefsky
OSSA Conference Archive
By consensus, President Barack Obama’s performance in the first 2012 Presidential debate was weak. Anticipating the second debate, commentators asserted that he must make a strong comeback to revive his candidacy. He is widely judged to have done so. I will examine the major argumentative exchanges in the debate to determine to what degree it exhibited virtues of argumentation and whether Obama’s perceived comeback was a matter of argumentative superiority as well as performance.

The Virtues Of Argumentation From An Amoral Analyst's Perspective, Marianne Doury

Many French-speaking approaches to argumentation are deeply rooted in a linguistic background. Hence, they "naturally" tend to adopt a descriptive stance on argumentation. This is the reason why the issue of "the virtues of argumentation" – and, specifically, the question of what makes an argument virtuous – is not central to them. The argumentative norms issue nevertheless cannot be discarded, as it obviously is crucial to arguers themselves: the latter often behave as if they were invested with some kind of argumentative policing duty when involved in dissensual exchanges. We propose to account for a number of researches developing a …
The Virtues Of Reason And The Problem Of Other Minds: Reflections On Argumentation In A New Century, G. Thomas Goodnight
The Virtues Of Reason And The Problem Of Other Minds: Reflections On Argumentation In A New Century, G. Thomas Goodnight

From early modernity, philosophers have engaged in skeptical discussions concerning knowledge of the existence, state, and standing of other minds. The analogical move from self to other unfolds as controversy. This paper reposes the problem as an argumentation predicament and examines analogy as an opening to the study of rhetorical cognition. Rhetorical cognition is identified as a productive process coming to terms with an other through testing sustainable error. The paper explains how self-sustaining risk is theorized by Aristotle’s virtue ethics in the polis. Moral hazard is identified as a threat to modern argument communities.

Virtue argumentation theory provides the best framework for accommodating the notion of an argument that is “fully satisfying” in a robust and integrated sense. The process of explicating the notion of fully satisfying arguments requires expanding the concept of arguers to include all of an argument’s participants, including judges, juries, and interested spectators. And that, in turn, requires expanding the concept of an argument itself to include its entire context.

Norms Of Advocacy, Jean Goodwin

This essay advances an account of the ordinary speech activity of advocating. The ethical principles developed within advocacy professions such as law and public relations show that advocates are not just out to persuade. Instead, they undertake obligations to make the best case for their positions while also maintaining the integrity of the communication systems within which they operate. While not offering full justifications, advocates nevertheless help auditors by making conspicuous the outer bounds of the arguable.

We present empirical evidence from social psychological research which suggests that standard methods (“show & tell”) employed when teaching the heuristics and biases program in the context of critical thinking (CT) instruction are likelier to facilitate the discernment and correction of biases in others’ reasoning than to have a similar effect in the self-monitoring case. Exemplified by the social phenomenon of false polarization, we suggest that CT instruction may be improved by fostering student’s abilities at counterfactual meta-cognition, and present a corresponding teaching and learning activity.
