Cogent Science in Context: The Science Wars, Argumentation Theory, and Habermas William Rehg [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] A philosopher reflects on the best way to validate a scientific claim.
In producing his work of ecclesiastical rhetoric, he made significant contributions to contemporary argumentation theory by laying the groundwork for the concept of the prima facie case, adoption of the principles of presumption and the burden of proof in argumentation, and providing a foundation for the principles of tests and strategic uses of evidence.
Current Argumentation Theory (14), which builds on a lot of dormant seminal research from the 1970's, is (among other things) focused on how research scientists, MD's, executives, political leaders, military commanders and others change their minds, views and theories in the very fuzzy and uncertain worlds they live in where erroneous views and beliefs can have large and serious consequences.
