Inconvenience

Critique is in the opinion of a philosopher.  He masters it before he realizes it has any worth.

- Marco



To keep it simple: if an argument (all or any) fails to have a contradiction in it, is flawed.
My example to this is two-fold:
1- there are two foreign polar opposite arguments
2- both arguments have contradictions as opposed to the other which doesn't.
3- if both arguments have contradictions and the other does not (I have created a syllogism)
The above syllogism is false.
You may have detected it. You may have, or - you may have not.
My point is there is language I used in this message to display a contradiction to see if you could find it.
The parable in this manufacturing of a fallacy committed, is that I can recreate the syllogism to accurately depict what I mean.
The new form of argument is as follows:
1- there are two foreign polar opposite arguments.
2- both arguments have contradictions as opposed to the other which does not carry a contradiction.
3- the question now should read: that if both arguments carry contradictions (but the other does not...) why would I displace my predicate use of logic to state that BOTH have contradictions.
The above now means (according to #3) that there is an entirely separate argument(s) that I have not mentioned already. Either because I am being deliberately ambiguous or implementing a cause to further my point. This is a problem. Now I can answer why? What is the problem?
That if we are under the impression of thought/argumentation as empirically governed, then, and therefore: we have to criticize the elements of any established argument. This is true.
But as I stated in my syllogisms:
That if any argument to be true of itself is not tested for - empirically?
Does this in turn make it true on the basis that we are testing its validity.
This is where (as I stated in the beginning)....
To examine any argument in critique of that argument - we are trying to find if it in fact has both true and false elements. Not that one argument in its entirety whether empirically valid or not, is full proof.
Conclusion:
That if you take an argument - you find one (argument) is without contradiction as opposed to another (argument) on the same subject which does have contradiction in it. Which of the two is a valid? My argument suggests that the answer is the argument you find contradiction in is a valid form of argument (because the argument without contradiction) is improbable to find. Like I said: an argument without finding contradiction can only be flawed. The answer is in that same sentence.

If we are trying to disseminate an argument as true only because we investigate it on empirical validity (without contradiction) does that make the argument unified?
