My opinion isn't (a) right!

Notes

  • An opinion is not a fact, neither Jack or Jill are right or wrong, therefore there is no right answer and no right violation. 
  • Epistemic- Knowledge, understanding
  • The minute somebodies mention that they have a right to their opinion the subject changes. 
  • Fallacy of equivocation: slipping between different meanings of words in an argument that would be valid only if the word were used with the same meaning throughout. 
  • If we are entitled to rights, then we are entitled to duties that right entails.
Seminar
  • Interdependence:
    • living in a society
    • responsibility to respect others
  • Network:
    • more then a one to one relationship
  • Arguments seek truth
  • Schema
    • organizing structures we use to make sense of the world. (mental file cabinet.)

"Fiction is the lie that tells the truth"
