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

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 😦

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  

😛

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!

"In ordinary discourse, the word “argue” often means “to disagree” (usually it carries the implication that someone does so insistently or aggressively). In argumentation theory, argument in the sense of disagreement is often called “argument-2” (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.
