Defeasible reasoning and informal fallacies
Synthese, 2009This paper argues that some traditional fallacies should be considered as reasonable arguments when used as part of a properly conducted dialog. It is shown that argumentation schemes, formal dialog models, and profiles of dialog are useful tools for studying properties of defeasible reasoning and fallacies.

Formalizing perspectival defeasible reasoning
Proceedings of the Thirtieth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2002I provide a unique formalism for defeasible reasoning that takes into account how an agent activates a perspective in response to a situation in which reasoning using a concept is called for, how each perspective is organized, and how the contents of each activated perspective is related to the contents of other perspectives.

Abstract Numerous legal scholars have asserted that legal reasoning is largely a deductive process in which legal rules are applied to the facts of a case in order to derive a conclusion. Though some might contest this assertion, it seems that what we know as law is largely a system of rules.

Computational Dialogic Defeasible Reasoning
Argumentation, 2003This article begins with an introduction to defeasible (nonmonotonic) reasoning and a brief description of a computer program, EVID, which can perform such reasoning. I then explain, and illustrate with examples, how this program can be applied in computational representations of ordinary dialogic argumentation.

Philosophical Studies, 2012
This paper unfolds in four steps. First it rehearses the main ingredients of John Pollock's groundbreaking approach to defeasible reasons. Then it unpacks those ingredients to generate puzzling explanations for why, on his view, defeaters do their job. Then it uses that discussion to critique Pollock's approach to undercutting defeaters.

Reasons for Action and Defeasibility*
2012The main purpose of this essay is to answer a very general question that may be posed in the following terms: can reasons for action be defeasible? Any position regarding this issue will entirely depend on how the terms under consideration are understood.

Defeasible Reasoning about Electric Consumptions
2016 IEEE 30th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA), 2016Conflicting rules and rules with exceptions are very common in natural language specification to describe the behaviour of devices operating in a real-world context. This is common exactly because those specifications are processed by humans, and humans apply common sense and strategic reasoning about those rules.

Advanced Topics: Defeasible Reasoning
1990The principal novelty this book brings to probability theory is a sophisticated epistemology accommodating defeasible reasoning. It is this that makes the theory of nomic probability possible. Earlier theories lacked the conceptual framework of prima facie reasons and defeaters, and hence were unable to adequately formulate principles of probabilistic ...

Defeasible Reasoning and Representation
2017The Gettier Problem exhibits how our human cognitive fallibility of representation noted by Sellars and Quine always leaves open the possibility of completely justified beliefs being false. True justified belief, Gettier showed us, may result from the deduction of a justified false belief and thus fall short of knowledge.
