The Pragmatic Dimension of Premise Acceptability
Argumentation Library, 2003 We hold that one factor determining whether or not a premise is acceptable is its cost, more precisely the cost of taking that statement as a premise. This thesis requires some clarification. When critically evaluating an argument purportedly giving us good reason to accept its conclusion, we are taking the role of a challenger in a simple dialectical ...

Instructions that emphasise the logical nature of the task, on the other hand, increase the number of ...

Testing for Acceptable Premises Within Systems of Belief
2009Many informal logic texts inform their readers to test premise acceptability in order to determine whether or not support or justification for a conclusion in an argument is cogent or warranted (for example Govier, 1985; MacKinnon, 1985). In some logic texts, premise acceptability is the first test which precedes and takes logical priority over tests ...
