Controversy. What is it and why do you need to do it?

Roughly speaking, controversy is a science of controversy. Therefore, we are all to some extent polemic, because we constantly have to argue with someone, to polemicize. How to make truth arise in a dispute? How to skillfully defend your position and make the discussion constructive? The controversy provides answers to these questions.

Briefly about the controversy
The polemic (translated from Greek as “military affairs”, “military art”) is a type of argument in which each opponent tries to prove that it is his position that is the only true one.

Features of the controversy:

Thesis and substantial connectivity. Each of the parties has a formulated position, and the meaning of the controversy lies in a dispute over disagreements between these positions.
Uncompromising. Each polemicist is trying to prove that it is his point of view that is true. The polemicists do not try to come to an agreement and reduce their reasoning to something in common.
The sequence. The polemicists respond to the arguments of the opponent and in response put forward their own, step by step revealing which of them is really right.
Honesty. Incorrect techniques are unacceptable in the controversy. There is no place for sophism, demagogic tricks, etc. in the polemic controversy.
We meet with controversy even in the dialogues of Plato, where the dispute was chosen as the main style-forming factor. She made a huge contribution to the development of many sciences: philosophy, politics and even physics (the famous correspondence between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr is an excellent example of scientific polemic). Controversy is widespread in the court case.

A lot of examples of meaningful, witty and fruitful discussions can be found in the literary works of Dante, Shakespeare, Rabelais, Balzac, Hugo, Dostoevsky, Joyce, Turgenev, Hemingway, Wilde and many others.

Basic concepts and principles of controversy
Argumentation is the mental activity of analyzing and selecting arguments and statements that are necessary for further discussion in the discussion. Arguments are designed to prove the truth of the thesis and justify it.

The thesis is the main idea, the main point, which briefly and clearly describes the position of the polemicist.

The thesis must satisfy two conditions:

Be clear and articulated.
Should not change during the discussion between polemicists.
Some rules of controversy
The rule of persuasiveness. Its essence is to limit argumentation, to sift arguments, leaving only those that are reliable and true. The logical conclusions are not limited in any way.

Correction rule. During the discussion, the polemicist can return to the already stated conclusion and change, reformulate some of the arguments or completely abandon them if he considers them unreliable.

What could be an argument?

Common axioms, that which is obvious in itself (sweet sugar, snow consists of water), unanalyzable, true by default, statements.
Theorems (i.e. statements and conclusions that were substantiated and proved before).
Facts.

The imperative of evidence theory in controversy

It sounds like this: every argument must be true. That is, the argument cannot contain an internal contradiction and cannot be sophism. An argument cannot be a judgment, the truth of which a polemicist cannot prove. Therefore, the hypothesis cannot be an argument during the discussion.

This concludes the short introduction to the controversy. In subsequent publications, I will consider ericism and many of its tricks that can be used to win discussions.

Do not be afraid to argue, because the dispute is the engine of progress, both global and personally yours.
