s for arguments. But weamp。39。re not going to have new exitstrategies for arguments until we have new entry approaches toarguments. We need to think of new kinds of arguments. In order to do that,well, I donamp。39。t know how to do that. Thatamp。39。s the bad news. The argumentaswarmetaphor is just, itamp。39。s a monster. Itamp。39。s just taken up habitation in our mind,and thereamp。39。s no magic bullet thatamp。39。s going to kill it. Thereamp。39。s no magic wandthatamp。39。s going to make it disappear. I donamp。39。t have an answer. But I have somesuggestions, and hereamp。39。s my suggestion. 所以我們?nèi)绾稳ミM行辯論并使之有一些積極的影響呢?我們所需要的是一個新的方式來終止一場辯論。但是我們沒有辦法找到一個新的方式去終止辯論,除非我們可以找到一個新的方式去開始一場辯論。我們需要一種新的辯論方式。為了找到這種新的方式。視辯論如戰(zhàn)爭的觀點本身就如同是一個怪獸。這已經(jīng)成為我們的思維定式了,而且也沒有什么快速有效的辦法可以解決它。我們沒有辦法就這樣讓他消失不見。我不知道該怎么解決。但是我確實有一些建議,這里是我的建議。 If we want to think of new kinds of arguments, what weneed to do is think of new kinds of arguers. So try this. Think of all theroles that people play in arguments. Thereamp。39。s the proponent and the opponent inan adversarial, dialectical argument. Thereamp。39。s the audience in rhetorical amp。39。s the reasoner in arguments as proofs. All these different roles. Now,can you imagine an argument in which you are the arguer, but youamp。39。re also in theaudience watching yourself argue? Can you imagine yourself watching yourselfargue, losing the argument, and yet still, at the end of the argument, say,amp。quot。Wow, that was a good argument.amp。quot。 Can you do that? I think you I think, if you can imagine that kind of argument where the loser says tothe winner and the audience and the jury can say, amp。quot。Yeah, that was a goodargument,amp。quot。 then you have imagined a good argument. And more than that, Ithink youamp。39。ve imagined a good arguer, an arguer thatamp。39。s worthy of the kind ofarguer you should try to be. 如果我想要創(chuàng)造一種嶄新的辯論方式,那么我們需要的其實是新的辯論者。所以嘗試一下這個。想象一下人們在辯論中所扮演的角色。我需要支持者與反對者才能進行一場意見相反的,辯證性的辯論。在修飾性辯論中,我們需要有觀眾。在證明式論證中我們需要推理者。所有這些不同角色。現(xiàn)在,你可以想象在一場辯論中,你既是辯論者,也是觀眾看著你自己的表現(xiàn)?你能想象你自己看著你自己辯論,在辯論中落敗,卻仍然在辯論結(jié)束后,覺得,”。哦,這是一場不錯的辯論?!薄D隳茏龅絾?我覺得你能。我覺得如果你可以想象一場辯論,敗者可以對勝者,對觀眾以及裁判們說”。噢,這是一場不錯的辯論,”。即使如此你也已經(jīng)可以想象一場不錯的辯論了。而且不僅如此,我想你已經(jīng)可以想象到一個好的辯論者,一個你希望成為的辯論者。 Now, I lose a lot of arguments. It takes practice tobee a good arguer in the sense of being able to benefit from losing, butfortunately, Iamp。39。ve had many, many colleagues who have been willing to step upand provide that practice for me. 現(xiàn)在,我輸?shù)袅撕芏噢q論。要成為一個好的辯論者是需要練習(xí)的尤其是從失敗中汲取教訓(xùn)這一點。但是幸運的是,我有很多很多同事他們愿意為我參與進來并和我一起練習(xí)成為好的辯論者。 Thank you. 謝謝。
