Virtuous argumentation and the challenges of hype

Ontario Society for the Study of Argumentation 10: Virtues of Argumentation (2013)

Abstract

In this paper, I consider the virtue of proportionality in relation to reasoning in what I call ‘hype contexts’. I conclude that a virtuous arguer is one that neither accepts nor rejects a claim based on its ubiquity alone, but who evaluates its importance with reference to the social context in which it is made.
