Definite Descriptions in Argument: Gettier’s Ten-Coins Example

In this article, I use Edmund Gettier’s Ten Coins hypothetical scenario to illustrate some reasoning errors in the use of definite descriptions . The Gettier problem, central as it is to modern epistemology, is first and foremost an argument, which Gettier (Analysis 23(6):121–123, 1963) constructs to prove a contrary conclusion to a widely held view in epistemology. Whereas the epistemological claims in the case have been extensively analysed conceptually, the strategies and tools from other philosophical disciplines such as analytic philosophy of language, logic and argumentation that Gettier deploys in the case have scarcely received any attention. This work abstracts from the epistemological content and examines Gettier’s handling of the definite description involved, and how that affects the cogency of his argument.

论证中的明确描述:Gettier 的十枚硬币示例

在本文中,我使用 Edmund Gettier 的十枚硬币假设场景来说明在使用明确描述时的一些推理错误。盖蒂尔问题是现代认识论的核心,它首先是一个论证,盖蒂尔 (Analysis 23(6):121-123, 1963) 构造它来证明与认识论中广泛持有的观点相反的结论。尽管此案中的认识论主张已在概念上进行了广泛的分析,但盖蒂尔在此案中采用的其他哲学学科的策略和工具,例如语言分析哲学、逻辑学和论证哲学,却几乎没有受到任何关注。这项工作从认识论内容中抽象出来,并检查了盖蒂尔对所涉及的明确描述的处理,以及这如何影响他的论点的说服力。
