An Analogy-Based Approach to Argument Evaluation
摘要
This paper presents an analogy-based approach to argument evaluation, combining logical analogy, argumentation schemes, and Szymanek’s explanation transmission method to assess the strength of arguments. The proposed framework introduces Strong Argument Schemes (SAS), which represent idealized argument structures incorporating the best possible answers to critical questions called critical premises. The method allows for systematically comparing and evaluating argument strength by mapping actual arguments to these strong schemes. This approach addresses limitations in traditional critical question-based evaluations and provides a unified procedure for assessing defeasible arguments.
