Abstract

In his Fallacies, Hamblin (1970) castigated what he called the “standard treatment” of fallacies in introductory textbooks of his day as debased, worn-out, dogmatic, and unconnected to anything else in modern logic. A bit more than 50 years later, I investigate the treatment of fallacies in six English-language introductory textbooks with a section on fallacies that have gone into 10 or more editions, to see whether their treatment of fallacies has taken account of the scholarship on fallacies that Hamblin’s book evoked and is better than the treatment that Hamblin described. The answer is: not much. I conclude by setting out criteria for an adequate treatment of fallacies in an introductory textbook.

谬论的教科书处理

汉布林（1970）在《谬论》一书中抨击了他所说的当时入门教科书中对谬论的“标准处理”，认为它是堕落的、破旧的、教条的，与现代逻辑中的任何其他东西都无关。50多年后，我调查了六本英语入门教材中对谬误的处理，其中有一节是关于谬误的，这些教材已经出版了10个或更多版本，看看他们对谬论的处理是否考虑到了汉布林的书所引发的关于谬误的学术，并且比汉布林所描述的处理要好。答案是：不多。最后，我在介绍性教科书中列出了充分处理谬误的标准。
