A Theory of Philosophical Fallacies

Více o knize

Focusing on the development of a general theory of philosophical argumentation, this work offers a detailed analysis of Nelson's method, which critiques the relativism and nihilism of his era. It builds on Kant's transcendental dialectics and examines arguments from notable thinkers like Bentham, Mill, and Einstein. The book highlights common fallacies in philosophical discourse, particularly emphasizing the role of false dilemmas and the concept replacement mechanism that leads to reasoning errors. This represents a significant contribution to understanding philosophical argumentation.
