„CONTRADICȚIA UNILATERALĂ” ȘI PRACTICA ARGUMENTĂRII

Abstract

Starting from some of C. Noica’s reflections on what he calls `unilateral contradiction`, this material tries to answer two questions: What is, argumentatively and rehetorically, unilateral contradiction? and What roles does it play in the practice of argumentation? Six study cases explore (i) how unilateral contradiction has argumentatively been used in sustaining a claim by criticizing a disjunction, and (ii) how it may be used as a way of reconstructing a case.
