Much the same holds for the scholarly interest they have elicited both in their own right and as a cautionary tale about everything that can go amiss when we reason. This is, of course, hardly surprising. Asking what is wrong with flawed arguments is tantamount to investigating the very fabric of argumentation along with the norms that make some argumentative moves more legitimate than others – only in reverse. Any overview of the scholarly literature of the last fifty years will provide ample evidence that fallacies Studies have simply escalated. Without notable exception, however, the ever-growing literature on argumentative failures suffer from a conspicuous lack of interest in Mediaeval fallacy theory – arguably the most creative stage in the whole history of argumentation theories. The standard story is that after Aristotle got off to a tentative start, the study of fallacies laid dormant until people at Port Royal and John Locke revived it in spectacular fashion. The volume will show that this picture is both inaccurate and misleading. By working its way from the inside out within each mediaeval world, « Fallacies in the Arabic, Byzantine, Hebrew and Latin Traditions » will provide ample and unambiguous record of the exegetical proficiency, technical expertise and argumentative savoir-faire typically displayed by mediaeval authors on issues which are all too often our own.Lire moins >
