| Forms of thinking: Here we are concerned with typical patterns according to which problems are explained, such as the image of communicating tubes, which is supposed to explain why we are not equally qualified in all fields, or the introduction of different levels of description in order to justify why certain phenomena are independent of each other. It is always the question whether these patterns are suitable for an explanation in a particular case. See also theories, explanations._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

Logic Texts on Forms of Thinking - Dictionary of Arguments
Read III 126 In fact, it seems that the two worlds are identical, except that there is a permutation of identities, that is, of counterparts. This, the anti-Haeccetist replies, is a distinction without distinction! >Haecceitism, >Counterparts, >Counterpart theory, >Possible world, >Identity. --- II 252 Description level: Now, here, all meaning of "truth" and "falsehood" is abstracted, except for their difference. --- Read III 59 "Too much"/"too little": The classical view with the substitution of Bolzano produces too much: it counts conclusions as valid, which are obviously invalid. But it also produces too little by citing arguments as invalid which should be recognized as valid in a plausible manner. III 78 It is disputed whether the production of such a counterexample is a necessary condition for the invalidity. That is, whether the inability to produce one is sufficient for validity. >Sufficiency. III 113 Stalnaker: includes an "impossible world" under his worlds, which he calls lambda, in which every statement is true! All such conditional sentences are found to be true here. ((s) Explanation: in such a world A and not-A would be true at the same time - contradiction.) III 212 If the boundary (interpretation or naming) between two things is indeterminate, one is the other in an undefined way. >Identification, >Individuation, >Specification, >Gaurisankar example. "ad hoc": III 232 But if we were to protest against the introduction of a new link with the sole reason that it leads to a paradox, this objection would be entirely ad hoc. There would be no diagnosis of the problem. III 232f Bluriness (fuzzy): does not help with Sorites - graduation distribution is no possibility distribution. >Sorites, >Vaguenes. --- I 54 Impermissible duplication: the mythical Crete, as different from Greek Crete, the historical Crete, the European Crete, the remembered Crete. >Ontology, >Qua objects._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
