ANDREW DAVID IRVINE, Phd University of British Columbia Okanagan Curriculum Vitae ANDREW DAVID IRVINE, PhD University of British Columbia Okanagan Professor Department of Economics, Philosophy & Political Science Department of Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics & Statistics University of British Columbia Okanagan Kelowna, BC Canada V1V 1V7 Tel. 250-807-9704 Email. [email protected] 30 June 2020 Often cited for his work on the twentieth-century Nobel laureate Bertrand Russell, Andrew Irvine is a past head of the Department of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at UBC Okanagan, a past senior advisor to the UBC president and a past vice- chair of the UBC Board of Governors. In his academic work, he has argued in favour of a physicalist world view and against several commonly held positions in contemporary philosophy, including the view that Gottlob Frege succeeded in developing a workable theory of mathematical Platonism and the view that Bertrand Russell was an advocate of epistemic logicism, a claim one commentator has concluded is now “thoroughly debunked.” He has defended a two-box solution to Newcomb’s problem, in which he abandons “the (false) assumption that past observed frequency is an infallible guide to probability.” He has also defended a non-cognitivist solution to the liar paradox, noting that “formal criteria alone will inevitably prove insufficient” for determining whether individual sentence tokens have meaning. In modal logic, he has argued in favour of the non-normal system S7, rather than more traditional systems such as S4 or S5, holding that unlike other systems, S7 allows logicians to choose between competing logics, each of whose theorems, if true, would be necessarily true, but none of which are necessarily the correct system of necessary truths. Together with Stephen Wexler, Irvine has argued that modern constitutional conceptions of the rule of law can trace their roots as far back as Socrates’ demand that even lawmakers must be bound by the law. Together with Jason Gratl, he has argued that, in its more modern form, the rule of law helps resolve tensions between national security and public accountability, a point picked up by the Supreme Court of Canada in Charkaoui v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) [2007]. Together with Edmond Rivère and Stephanie Tolman, Irvine is the author of the first comprehensive bibliography of Canada’s premier literary prize, the Governor General’s Literary Awards. Together with Joan Bryans, he premiered Socrates on Trial, a stage play based on Plato’s Apology that in the words of one reviewer has become “a worthy analogue of an ancient masterpiece.” Andrew David Irvine / 2 1.

  • Advice on the Logic of Argument†
    Revista del Instituto de Filosofía, Universidad de Valparaíso, Año 1, N° 1. Junio 2013. Pags. 7 – 34 Advice on the Logic of Argument† John Woods Resumen Desde su creación moderna a principios de la década de los 70, la lógica informal ha puesto un especial énfasis en el análisis de las falacias y los esquemas de diálogo argumentativo. Desarrollos simultáneos en los círculos que se ocupan de los actos de comunicación de habla exhiben una concentración en el carácter dialéctico de la discusión. PALABRAS CLAVE: Lógica informal, argumento, diálogos Abstract Since its modern inception in the early 1970s, informal logic has placed a special emphasis on the analysis of fallacies and argumentative dialogue schemes. Concurrent developments in speech communication circles exhibit a like concentration on the dialectical character of argument. KEYWORDS: Informal logic, argument, dialogues “But the old connection [of logic] with philosophy is closest to my heart right now . I hope that logic will have another chance in its mother area.” Johan van Benthem “On [the] traditional view of the subject, the phrase ‘formal logic’ is pleonasm and ‘informal logic’ oxymoron.” John Burgess 1. Background remarks Logic began abstractly, as the theoretical core of a general theory of real-life argument.

In our own day, the intellectual skeins that matter for argument-minded logicians are the formal logics of dialogues and games and on the less technical side of the street informal logic.

  • Trust, Relevance, and Arguments Fabio Paglieri∗ and Cristiano Castelfranchi
    Argument and Computation, 2014 Vol. 5, Nos. 2–3, 216–236, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/19462166.2014.899270 Trust, relevance, and arguments Fabio Paglieri∗ and Cristiano Castelfranchi Goal-Oriented Agents Lab (GOAL), ISTC-CNR, Via S. Martino della Battaglia 44, Rome 00185, Italy (Received 30 August 2013; final version received 11 February 2014) This paper outlines an integrated approach to trust and relevance with respect to arguments: in particular, it is suggested that trust in relevance has a central role in argumentation. We first distinguish two types of argumentative relevance: internal relevance, i.e. the extent to which a premise has a bearing on its purported conclusion, and external relevance, i.e. a measure of how much a whole argument is pertinent to the matter under discussion, in the broader dialogical context where it is proposed. Then, we argue that judgements of internal relevance heavily rely on trust, and that such trust, although occasionally misplaced (e.g. in some so-called fallacies of relevance), is nonetheless based on several reasons, and thus often justified, by either epistemic or pragmatic considerations. We conclude by sketching potential methods to formally model trust in argumentative relevance, and briefly discussing the technological implications of this line of research. Keywords: trust; relevance; formal model of argumentation; computational models of natural language argument 1. Introduction In a recent paper (Paglieri & Castelfranchi 2012), we noted that trust and relevance, while being separately the focus of much research in philosophy (Baier, 1995; Cohen, 1994; Floridi, 2008; Gambetta, 1988; O’Neill, 2002), pragmatics (Borg, 2005; Grice, 1989; Sperber & Wilson, 1995; Wilson & Sperber, 2004), and computer science (Borlund, 2003; Bremer & Cohnitz, 2004; Castelfranchi & Falcone, 2010; Cooper, 1971; Crestani, Lalmas, Van Rijsbergen, & Campbell, 1998; Ramchurn, Huynh, & Jennings, 2004), have rarely been brought into contact with the study of information dynamics.

  • Reclaiming Liberalism
    PALGRAVE STUDIES IN CLASSICAL LIBERALISM SERIES EDITORS: DAVID F. HARDWICK · LESLIE MARSH Reclaiming Liberalism Edited by David F. Hardwick · Leslie Marsh [email protected] Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism Series Editors David F. Hardwick Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine The University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada Leslie Marsh Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine The University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada [email protected] This series offers a forum to writers concerned that the central presup- positions of the liberal tradition have been severely corroded, neglected, or misappropriated by overly rationalistic and constructivist approaches. The hardest-won achievement of the liberal tradition has been the wrestling of epistemic independence from overwhelming concentrations of power, monopolies and capricious zealotries. The very precondition of knowledge is the exploitation of the epistemic virtues accorded by soci- ety’s situated and distributed manifold of spontaneous orders, the DNA of the modern civil condition. With the confluence of interest in situated and distributed liberalism emanating from the Scottish tradition, Austrian and behavioral econom- ics, non-Cartesian philosophy and moral psychology, the editors are soliciting proposals that speak to this multidisciplinary constituency. Sole or joint authorship submissions are welcome as are edited collections, broadly theoretical or topical in nature. More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/15722

    A Searchable Bibliography of Fallacies – 2016 HANS V. HANSEN Department of Philosophy University of Windsor Windsor, ON CANADA N9B 3P4 [email protected] CAMERON FIORET Department of Philosophy University of Guelph Guelph, ON CANADA N1G 2W1 [email protected] This bibliography of literature on the fallacies is intended to be a resource for argumentation theorists. It incorporates and sup- plements the material in the bibliography in Hansen and Pinto’s Fallacies: Classical and Contemporary Readings (1995), and now includes over 550 entries. The bibliography is here present- ed in electronic form which gives the researcher the advantage of being able to do a search by any word or phrase of interest. Moreover, all the entries have been classified under at least one of 45 categories indicated below. Using the code, entered as e.g., ‘[AM-E]’, one can select all the entries that have been des- ignated as being about the ambiguity fallacy, equivocation. Literature about fallacies falls into two broad classes. It is either about fallacies in general (fallacy theory, or views about fallacies) or about particular fallacies (e.g., equivocation, appeal to pity, etc.). The former category includes, among others, con- siderations of the importance of fallacies, the basis of fallacies, the teaching of fallacies, etc. These general views about fallacies often come from a particular theoretical orientation about how fallacies are best understood; for example, some view fallacies as epistemological mistakes, some as mistakes in disagreement resolution, others as frustrations of rhetorical practice and com- munication. Accordingly, we have attempted to classify the en- © Hans V. Hansen & Cameron Fioret.

  • Irvine ORIGINS 2019.Pdf
    Forthcoming in David Hardwick and Leslie Marsh (eds), Reclaiming Liberalism, London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2019 ORIGINS OF THE RULE OF LAW Andrew David Irvine University of British Columbia, Okanagan Introduction Central to the idea of the rule of law is the requirement that even governments must be bound by law.1 Under the rule of law, even those who have the ability to make and change the law remain subject to it. Even those who have the power to interpret and enforce the law remain governed by it. It is this feature of law, as much as the ballot box or the free press, that protects the ordinary citizen from arbitrary state power.2 Understood in this way, the rule of law is more than just the requirement that governments must act according to the law. Should a law be passed that gave a government the power to act whenever and however it wanted, such a government would not be bound by law. To be genuine, rule of law must place substantial, non-trivial constraints on the use of state power, just as it does with ordinary citizens. It requires not only that government authority be exercised in accordance with publicly disclosed and appropriately adopted procedures.3 It also requires that genuine prohibitions exist against 2 at least some types of state action. It is in this sense that rule of law differs from rule by law or rule through law. Simply put, rule of law requires not just that all government actions find their source in law. It also requires governments to acknowledge the difference between powers granted to them in law and powers they do not have.
