Presuming and Presumption in Everyday Argumentation: A response to Godden and Walton

Year: 2009

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In response to critique by Godden and Walton, this essay delineates the role of moral motivation in the commitment structure of ordinary presumptive inferences.It defends the capacity of ordinary presumptions to support discursive structures within which everyday argumentation can address defeasible claims and enable alignments and realignments in probative obligations, i.e., burdens of proof.
