Читать книгу Making Arguments: Reason in Context - Edmond H. Weiss - Страница 25

Because arguments need to clash, they must also develop. The course of inquiry increases the scope of argumentation, with both sides adding new evidence, additional sub-arguments, nuanced changes in propositions. The claims, evidence, and responses of the arguers must grow, in order to accomplish more detailed justifications of the claims among disputants. An argument that does not advance, that sits on its original claims and evidence, that fails to extend beyond its initial form and support, risks failing in light of an opposing case that is being extended and developed beyond its initial state.
