1 I, 1 | when standing up to an argument, avoid saying anything that 2 I, 1 | us.~Now reasoning is an argument in which, certain things 3 I, 2 | shift the ground of any argument that they appear to us to 4 I, 5 | same or different?", for argument about definitions is mostly 5 I, 5 | supplied by the same turn of argument with lines of attack upon 6 I, 11| regard to which we have no argument because they are so vast, 7 I, 11| puzzle one of those who need argument, not punishment or perception. 8 I, 12| to universals, e.g. the argument that supposing the skilled 9 I, 14| the written handbooks of argument, and should draw up sketch-lists 10 I, 18| he failed to address his argument to this. It helps us also 11 I, 18| questioner fails to address his argument to the same point; and when 12 I, 18| are false. This manner of argument, however, does not belong 13 II, 2 | differs in the turn of the argument.~Moreover, you should define 14 II, 3 | able to quote any single argument applying to all cases in 15 II, 4 | Now the former commonplace argument is fallacious for purposes 16 II, 4 | overthrowing a view, the former argument is true while the latter 17 II, 4 | not well equipped with an argument against the assertion, look 18 II, 5 | is the sophistic turn of argument, whereby we draw our opponent 19 II, 5 | well supplied with lines of argument. This process is sometimes 20 II, 5 | a good stock of lines of argument. Likewise, also, it is really 21 II, 5 | who is standing up to the argument has refused to concede something, 22 II, 9 | count as good. The same argument applies also to things tending 23 III, 1 | good. You should direct the argument you intend to employ to 24 III, 6 | we shall have produced an argument in both ways, both universally 25 IV, 1 | in question; or, if your argument be constructive, whether 26 IV, 4 | demolishing and in establishing an argument, you should examine things 27 IV, 4 | two ways of demolishing an argument, first of all by looking 28 IV, 4 | abiding of knowledge, the same argument in regard to it will apply.~ 29 V, 2 | who is about to attempt an argument is in doubt which of the 30 V, 2 | conception incontrovertible by argument, because of its unity", 31 V, 4 | cannot be deceived by an argument" (for a geometrician is 32 V, 4 | he is not deceived by an argument. For constructive purposes, 33 V, 4 | is "incontrovertible by argument"; for then the scientist 34 V, 4 | will be incontrovertible by argument. For constructive purposes, 35 V, 4 | he is incontrovertible by argument"; while the description 36 V, 4 | she is incontrovertible by argument". For against an objector 37 V, 5 | as "incontrovertible by argument" belongs to a "scientist" ( 38 V, 5 | be "incontrovertible by argument"), or because it is the 39 V, 5 | as "incontrovertible by argument" belongs to "science", or 40 V, 5 | did "incontrovertible by argument" when stated as a property 41 V, 8 | Also you should look at the argument from a simple predication 42 VI, 2 | and then institute his argument against each: for if the 43 VII, 5 | material, the quicker an argument comes: for there is more 44 VII, 5 | well supplied with lines of argument with regard to our several 45 VIII, 1 | or to lend weight to the argument, or to conceal the conclusion, 46 VIII, 1 | conclusion, or to render the argument more clear. Beside these 47 VIII, 1 | when he has put his whole argument and has stated the conclusion, 48 VIII, 1 | uncertain what their opponent’s argument requires, people are more 49 VIII, 1 | the knowledge also. This argument resembles induction, but 50 VIII, 1 | while at the close of an argument they show their ill-temper. 51 VIII, 1 | it is well to expand the argument and insert things that it 52 VIII, 1 | additional ornament to the argument, though there is no necessity 53 VIII, 2 | reasoning be adopted, but in argument with another reasoning per 54 VIII, 3 | easy to stand up to, an argument. Such (e.g.) are those things 55 VIII, 3 | principle are hard to treat in argument: for it is not possible 56 VIII, 3 | definitions to treat in argument are those that employ terms 57 VIII, 4 | questioner is so to develop the argument as to make the answerer 58 VIII, 5 | facing the questioner’s argument is bound of necessity to 59 VIII, 6 | be either relevant to the argument or irrelevant: if then it 60 VIII, 6 | it be irrelevant to the argument, it may be granted without 61 VIII, 8 | instance; for to bring the argument to a standstill without 62 VIII, 8 | yet difficult, e.g. the argument of Zeno that it is impossible 63 VIII, 8 | ill-tempered: for ill-temper in argument consists in answering in 64 VIII, 9 | them not for the sake of argument but because he really thinks 65 VIII, 10| demolished be false. For the argument may contain many falsehoods, 66 VIII, 10| nearer a solution of the argument; it may be true that the 67 VIII, 10| that that fallacy of the argument depends: for supposing that 68 VIII, 10| given the solution of the argument completely. Any one who 69 VIII, 10| and such a point that the argument depends, knows the solution 70 VIII, 10| preventing a man from working his argument to a conclusion. It can 71 VIII, 10| thereby unable to pursue the argument any farther. Thirdly, one 72 VIII, 10| be unable to pursue his argument farther, the objection would 73 VIII, 11| Adverse criticism of an argument on its own merits, and of 74 VIII, 11| failure to carry through the argument correctly in discussion 75 VIII, 11| steps of which a correct argument might have been made against 76 VIII, 11| tempers in this way, their argument becomes a contest, not a 77 VIII, 11| truth. Accordingly, if the argument be made to depend on something 78 VIII, 11| partner, clearly applies to an argument as well; for in arguments 79 VIII, 11| in a like strain upon the argument on its own merits, and upon 80 VIII, 11| may very well be that the argument is bad, but that the questioner 81 VIII, 11| originally had to be proved-the argument is sure to become vitiated. 82 VIII, 11| arguments.~In itself an argument is liable to five kinds 83 VIII, 11| Clearly, then, not even the argument itself is open to the same 84 VIII, 11| is nothing to prevent the argument being open to reproach in 85 VIII, 11| is possible also that an argument, even though brought to 86 VIII, 11| moreover does not rest as an argument on these additions. With 87 VIII, 11| Analytics.~Whenever by the argument stated something is demonstrated, 88 VIII, 11| already included in his argument: suppose him to be showing ( 89 VIII, 11| the ground on which the argument depends.~ 90 VIII, 12| 12~An argument is clear in one, and that 91 VIII, 12| the conclusion, and the argument is concluded through premisses 92 VIII, 12| generally is firmly accepted.~An argument is called fallacious in 93 VIII, 12| happens when a non-medical argument is taken to be a medical 94 VIII, 12| geometrical for a geometrical argument, or one which is not dialectical 95 VIII, 12| above as well.~Fallacy in argument is due to a mistake of the 96 VIII, 12| arguer rather than of the argument: yet it is not always the 97 VIII, 12| preference to many true ones an argument which demolishes some true 98 VIII, 12| generally accepted. For an argument of that kind does demonstrate 99 VIII, 12| and utterly childish, the argument is worse than many arguments 100 VIII, 12| false conclusion, though an argument which leads to a false conclusion 101 VIII, 12| to ask in regard to the argument in itself is, "Has it a 102 VIII, 12| generally accepted, the argument is dialectical, whereas 103 VIII, 14| For by "conversion" of an argument is meant the taking the 104 VIII, 14| the look-out for a line of argument both pro and con: and on 105 VIII, 14| general application than an argument: for it is difficult to 106 VIII, 14| the habit of turning one argument into several, and conceal 107 VIII, 14| akin to the subject of the argument. This can be done with arguments 108 VIII, 14| conclusion to which the argument leads must be taken generally, 109 VIII, 14| some people with whom any argument is bound to degenerate. 110 VIII, 14| casual acquaintances, or bad argument is sure to result. For you 111 VIII, 14| refrain from contentious argument.~It is best also to have
