Arguementation is the systematic reasoning that you use to support your arguements

2018-08-08 17:11:31 UTC

No.

2018-08-08 17:11:36 UTC

It's not @Awrini

2018-08-08 17:11:40 UTC

So a debate without arguementation is just bullshit

2018-08-08 17:11:44 UTC

what is argumentation then?

2018-08-08 17:11:53 UTC

Yes it is. It's the literal definition

2018-08-08 17:12:00 UTC

hold on

2018-08-08 17:12:10 UTC

@Dennafen what do you define as argumentation?

2018-08-08 17:12:12 UTC

argumentation is good

2018-08-08 17:12:21 UTC

fighting is what you are confusing it as

2018-08-08 17:12:32 UTC

I stop looking at general for five minutes and you guys debate up a 100+ message storm โ›ˆ

2018-08-08 17:12:33 UTC

Argumentation is the promotion of discovery of truth though discussion. You don't go into it with pre conceived idea of what is right or wrong.

2018-08-08 17:12:38 UTC

a debate doesn't have to be adversarial

In a debate, you just have 2 opposing stances

And the goal is to try and persuade others to agree with your viewpoint/arguments, so either your opponent, or your audience

2018-08-08 17:13:05 UTC

Yes @Dr.Wol Debate is adversarial.

2018-08-08 17:13:07 UTC

what definition did you pull that from?

2018-08-08 17:13:15 UTC

seriously, what?

2018-08-08 17:13:27 UTC

because everyone else was using the "the act or process of forming reasons and of drawing conclusions and applying them to a case in discussion" definition

2018-08-08 17:13:53 UTC

Man i wish we had a debate channel ...for liek debates ....

2018-08-08 17:13:58 UTC

Lmao ๐Ÿ˜‚

2018-08-08 17:14:03 UTC

we do, but that channel is in permanent "slow" mode

2018-08-08 17:14:07 UTC

so you can't talk fast

2018-08-08 17:14:19 UTC

Oh i didnt even know that

2018-08-08 17:14:22 UTC

forget something? gotta wait 10 seconds and forget it agian

Argumentation: The Study of Effective Reasoning, 2nd Edition David Zarefsky

2018-08-08 17:14:32 UTC

and JDM won't take it off slow mo

2018-08-08 17:14:37 UTC

Is where I got it.

2018-08-08 17:14:56 UTC

"Argumentation theory, or argumentation, is the interdisciplinary study of how conclusions can be reached through logical reasoning; that is, claims based, soundly or not, on premises."

2018-08-08 17:15:17 UTC

" It includes the arts and sciences of civil debate, dialogue, conversation, and persuasion. It studies rules of inference, logic, and procedural rules in both artificial and real world settings"

2018-08-08 17:15:30 UTC

sound about right?

2018-08-08 17:15:49 UTC

or did he use a very different definition that he made up for his book

2018-08-08 17:15:56 UTC

so... how is that not debating?

At the end of a debate, people draw their own conclusions and either agree or disagree

2018-08-08 17:16:13 UTC

i guess there is a chicken and the egg problem where

2018-08-08 17:16:13 UTC

Close enough.

2018-08-08 17:16:29 UTC

debate requires argumentation, but argumentation includes debate

2018-08-08 17:16:30 UTC

I just use Merriam webster when i googled the word

"the act or process of forming reasons and of drawing conclusions and applying them to a case in discussion"

2018-08-08 17:16:55 UTC

Okay, it's not adversarial. Debate is.

2018-08-08 17:17:00 UTC

argumentation doesn't have to be a debate,

You can make your argument without having a counter-argument given,

By preaching for example

2018-08-08 17:17:18 UTC

Debate requires it, but it is not debate, sound fair?

2018-08-08 17:17:32 UTC

Argumentation has an interlocutor, but it's not a debate.

2018-08-08 17:17:50 UTC

Debate requires arguments to be presented, but it's not argumentation.

2018-08-08 17:18:01 UTC

presenting arguments is argumentation

2018-08-08 17:18:05 UTC

No.

2018-08-08 17:18:10 UTC

I just use Merriam webster when i googled the word

"the act or process of forming reasons and of drawing conclusions and applying them to a case in discussion"

2018-08-08 17:18:19 UTC

I like how people try to redefine words.

2018-08-08 17:18:28 UTC

I'm not redefining a word.

2018-08-08 17:18:38 UTC

I'm using the original definition.

2018-08-08 17:18:50 UTC

the action or process of reasoning systematically in support of an idea, action, or theory. ?

2018-08-08 17:18:52 UTC

that is debatable

2018-08-08 17:18:56 UTC

lol

2018-08-08 17:18:58 UTC

damn you got me there,

I didn't get to talk to the guy who invented the word ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

2018-08-08 17:19:05 UTC

you'd have to prove that was the first ever use of the term

2018-08-08 17:19:06 UTC

i have to go with a dictionary definition

2018-08-08 17:19:21 UTC

which, technically, it isn't even the first use, give that its the second edition

2018-08-08 17:19:31 UTC

but it most likely didn't change much

2018-08-08 17:20:03 UTC

you guys arguing over semantics?

2018-08-08 17:20:17 UTC

yes

2018-08-08 17:20:20 UTC

Actually, no.

2018-08-08 17:20:28 UTC

we're debating!

2018-08-08 17:20:29 UTC

.... there is irony here

2018-08-08 17:20:30 UTC

๐Ÿ˜›

2018-08-08 17:20:41 UTC

its semantics ultimately, but thats 90% of internet debate

2018-08-08 17:20:49 UTC

<:NFA:354470494747230208>

2018-08-08 17:21:00 UTC

that's because people's arguments suck without redefining words.

2018-08-08 17:22:01 UTC

zionism debunked!

2018-08-08 17:22:31 UTC

"In ordinary discourse, the word โ€œargueโ€ often means โ€œto disagreeโ€ (usually it carries the implication that someone does so insistently or aggressively). In argumentation theory, argument in the sense of disagreement is often called โ€œargument-2โ€ (see Goodwin 2001). Like other logics, informal logic focuses on arguing in a narrower sense, understanding an argument as an attempt to provide evidence in favour of some point of view. This can usefully be called an evidentiary account of argument. It makes arguing an intentional act (a speech or communication act) which is usually embedded in argument in the broader sense, functioning as an attempt to resolve the disagreement this implies."

2018-08-08 17:24:41 UTC

A rose by any other name...

2018-08-08 17:24:51 UTC

So yes, we ARE redefining words
Got it.

2018-08-08 17:26:39 UTC

Okay, if you want to say that, go for it.

2018-08-08 17:26:48 UTC

that...

2018-08-08 17:26:58 UTC

It's still a skill you need to learn, not something you can just read in a book.

2018-08-08 17:27:44 UTC

"Argumentation is the promotion of discovery of truth though discussion. You don't go into it with pre conceived idea of what is right or wrong."

Tell me, how does one discover truth with argumentation if you cannot have the pre conceived idea of right or wrong? truth is not a form of right? what is the term "right or wrong" mean here, a preconceived notion of the truth, or of a moral right or wrong." If you believe you discovered truth through previous argumentation, but ascertain the notion you may be wrong, and proceed to enter a debate to test how this theory holds up, is that not argumentation?

2018-08-08 17:27:57 UTC

the skill of persuasion? not sure I'd buy a car from you though.

2018-08-08 17:29:11 UTC

Okay for example, "Should we punch nazis" I'm of the opinion that we should not punch nazis.

2018-08-08 17:29:20 UTC

depends on the goal

2018-08-08 17:29:33 UTC

That violence is a poor means of debate.

2018-08-08 17:29:33 UTC

that would be a moral claim

2018-08-08 17:29:45 UTC

Let me finish.

2018-08-08 17:30:26 UTC

So while I'm of that opinion if I were to argue that point with you, I would have to be willing to be convinced other wise.

2018-08-08 17:30:32 UTC

I, on the other hand, am all for punching Nazis. But hey, good luck actually finding one.

2018-08-08 17:30:43 UTC

lol

2018-08-08 17:30:52 UTC

And we together would be trying to seek what IS right not what we already believe to be right.

2018-08-08 17:31:54 UTC

correct me if i am wrong, but wouldn't whether or not any given debate is or is not a form of argumentation depend on the intention of the people in a debate?

2018-08-08 17:32:25 UTC

Debate is not argumentation it is, by definition antagonistic.

2018-08-08 17:32:37 UTC

When you go into a debate, you're going into win the debate.

2018-08-08 17:32:49 UTC

are you?

2018-08-08 17:32:53 UTC

Yes.

2018-08-08 17:32:55 UTC

context matters fellas. If you are trying to WIN, you don't need an open mind, you just need your talking points. If you are trying to actually communicate with eachother....on the other hand.

2018-08-08 17:33:02 UTC

i don't always enter a debate to be right

2018-08-08 17:33:09 UTC

Then it's not a debate.

2018-08-08 17:33:27 UTC

sometimes i enter it to prove the flaws in someones logic

2018-08-08 17:33:35 UTC

That's not a debate.

2018-08-08 17:33:39 UTC

but it has two sides

2018-08-08 17:33:46 UTC

Okay, it's not a debate.

2018-08-08 17:33:51 UTC

that are opposing one another

2018-08-08 17:34:12 UTC

you guys can debate this if you want, but I don't feel like arguing.

2018-08-08 17:34:15 UTC

Okay, that's not what a debate is, a debate are two opposed side trying to convince a third party.

2018-08-08 17:34:23 UTC

Ok, so what is the Dennafenian definition of debate?
