Abstract

In this paper I focus on the fallacy known as Complex Question or Many Questions. After a brief introduction, in Sect. 2 I highlight its pragmatic dimension, and in Sect. 3 its dialectical dimension. In Sect. 4 I present two accounts of this fallacy developed in argumentation theory, Douglas Walton’s and the Pragma-Dialectics’, which have resources to capture both its pragmatic and its dialectical nature. However, these accounts are unsatisfactory for various reasons. In Sect. 5 I focus on the pragmatic dimension of the fallacy and I suggest amendments to the accounts mentioned drawing on the study of the phenomenon of presupposition in theoretical pragmatics. I argue that the central notion in the definition of the fallacy is that of an informative presupposition. In Sect. 6 I focus on the dialectical dimension of the fallacy. This dimension needs to be explicitly acknowledged in the definition of the fallacy in order to distinguish it from a different, non-dialectical, fallacious argumentative move involving presuppositions.

问题、预设和谬误
在这篇论文中,我关注的是被称为“复杂问题”或“许多问题”的谬论。简单介绍后,在门派。2我强调了它的语用层面,在第。3它的辩证维度。在教派。4我对论证理论中发展起来的这种谬论提出了两种说法,道格拉斯·沃尔顿的和普拉格玛辩证法的,这两种说法都有资源捕捉其语用性和辩证性。然而,由于各种原因,这些账目并不令人满意。在教派。5我关注的是该谬论的语用维度,并根据对理论语用学中预设现象的研究,对上述叙述提出了修正意见。我认为,谬误定义的核心概念是信息预设。在教派。6我关注的是谬论的辩证维度。这一维度需要在谬误的定义中得到明确承认,以便将其与涉及预设的不同的、非辩证的、谬误的辩论动作区分开来。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
