ConférenceConférence internationale
« Fallacies in the Arabic, Byzantine, Hebrew and Latin Traditions »
(Lille, May the 24th, 25th, 26th)
Organisateurs : Shahid Rahman & Leone Gazziero
Argumentaire :
Bad arguments have never been in short supply. The scholarly interest they have elicited in recent years, on the other hand, is quite exceptional. Fallacy studies have become a well-established and flourishing field of argumentation theory (“critical thinking” being one of the umbrella labels under which the subject is often advertised). With so few exceptions as to make no difference, however, the ever-growing number of essays, book-chapters, book-length studies, journals’ special issues and even handbooks on the subject – which are easily counted by the hundreds – suffer from a symptomatic lack of interest in Mediaeval Logic which is – arguably – the most creative stage in the whole history of fallacy theories. The standard story is that after Aristotle got it off to a great start, the discipline became dormant until Richard Whately first and John Stuart Mill soon afterwards revived it in spectacular fashion.
Fallacies in the Arabic, Byzantine, Hebrew and Latin Traditions will show that this picture is misleading and will replace it with a new narrative which will bring to bear the full resources of mediaeval theory of argumentation across disciplines and across cultures to redefine the way we describe, classify, and – hopefully – avoid fallacies in the light of mediaeval logical, philosophical, theological and legal achievements.
