argument whose conclusion one does not like but one nonetheless cannot seem to defeat one is presented with a dilemma do i accept the results of this argument or do i reject them the curious problem that results is that people often refuse to accept the argument even with no apparently good reason to do so let me explain this scenario a little further for those who are not familiar with the way argument works in philosophy it actually works this way in all disciplines but it is not often as explicitly laid out as it almost always is in an academic philosophy setting philosophers are very proud of their mastery of logic the discipline that investigates valid argument and reasoning and are likely to appeal to two facts about logic when presenting or critiquing an argument 1 there are two ways you can defeat an argument a you can question the validity of the form of the argument or b you can question the truth of one or more of the premises 2 if you cannot do either of the things mentioned in 1 then you must accept the conclusion of the argument i am tempted to use ought instead of must to demonstrate the normative aspect of the rationality criterion however i imagine for most readers the difference will be elided so i won t bother but keep in mind that the sense in which one must accept the conclusion of an argument is more of a moral duty than an example of strict causal necessity this will be important later let s call 1 logic 101 and 2 the criterion of rationality logic 101 is basically accepted by everyone if you can show that an argument doesn t have a valid argument form i e modus ponens modus tollens among other classics then you don t have to take the argument seriously additionally if you can reasonably object to the truth of one or more of the premises you have additional reason to reject the argument there does not seem to be much room to argue with the principles of logic 101 2 the criterion of rationality is additionally almost universally accepted however i think it is far more questionable i should perhaps attenuate my statement that it is universally accepted in anglo american analytic philosophy there is almost no controversy as to the truth of the criterion of rationality those in other disciplines and or styles of philosophy might not be so willing to embrace this idea let s think first of all about what a logically valid argument entails for a argument to be logically valid it must be the case that if the premises are true it is not possible for the conclusion to be false the truth of the premises guarantees the truth of the conclusion notice that nothing in here says anything about accepting the results of such an argument most philosophers take the implication of this fact about logically valid arguments to say that one must accept the results of a sound argument a sound argument is an argument that has a valid argument form and all true premises but does this follow it certainly seems crazy to deny it or at least irrational indeed this is often how philosophers explain what is going on when someone is presented with an indefeasibly sound argument yet they refuse to accept the consequences of said argument the person in this situation is behaving irrationally but are they while i don t have a fully developed response to this claim it seems to me that there is a sense in which one must own an argument before it can reach that level of acceptance one cannot be compelled purely by the formal majesty of logic and it seems incorrect to accuse those not so compelled of irrationality there is something deeply rational in its positive normative sense in delaying judgment even in the face of such apparently inescapable evidence the type of acceptance the philosopher thinks logical argument imposes is supposed to be relatively simple the acceptance of a proposition before you heard this argument you believed that p now you believe that not p or maybe you had a void which p now fills sounds straightforward enough right this is a ludicrous symbolization of how beliefs work however our beliefs are not atomistic in this sense unattached to other beliefs this is controversial in philosophy but let s just go with it for now to borrow a phrase from quine they exist in an interlocking web with all our other beliefs i have some qualms about belief talk but it s really not worth making this any more complicated than it already is so let s just press onward a change in belief is a traumatic episode especially if one s belief is central in one s web of beliefs is it really rational to rip apart one s web of beliefs in the face of such uncompelling evidence as a sound argument doesn t the conclusion have to seize one in a manner more meaningful that the inexorability of logical necessity philosophers need to think about this problem far more seriously than they have to date and not just accuse those who fall prey to it of...
