  1. Sattumalta lukeille osunut Bradley Dowdenin ikääntynyt IEP-entry Fallacies sai muistelemaan muita opastuksia argumentoinnin karikoiden väistelemiseen sosiaalisenkin median Juhannus-aallokoissa, iep.utm.edu/fallacy/

    Wikipedian päivittyneempi lista "päättelyvirheistä" sisältää lyhyiden luonnehdintojen lisäksi linkit perusteellisempiin selostuksiin, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_

    WayBack-masiina löytää edelleen myös Stephen Downesin mainion esityksen, jota hyödynsin omassa opetuksessani kolme vuosikymmentä sitten, web.archive.org/web/2011041102 . Mukana oli jopa "listan" käyttöohje, jossa varoiteltiin nimikkeillä hutkimisesta, web.archive.org/web/2011051419

    Tällaisten kertaaminen aina silloin tällöin voi auttaa purjehtimaan nykyajassa vastuullisena episteemisenä agenttina.

  2. I find the paper "Arguments from Ignorance, Coverage, and Bubbles" by Patrick Bondy in the latest issue of Informal Logic very useful.

    In practice "ignorance" is much more important than "epistemological virtue".

  3. Leo Groarke has revised his SEP-entry on Informal Logic, plato.stanford.edu/entries/log

    The 2019 WSIA-volume on Informal Logic mentioned at the introduction is a nice additional resource, windsor.scholarsportal.info/om, and the Journal Informal Logic offers a glimpse of some current discussions, informallogic.ca/index.php/inf

    Groarke's entry provides a list of OIR's, plato.stanford.edu/entries/log, including to the hilarious Arguer's Lexicon, web.colby.edu/arguerslexicon/, and some entries in the Bibliography are available online.

  4. Informal Logicin numero 4/2025 näkyy ilmestyneen Joulun alla, informallogic.ca/index.php/inf

    Sisällysluettelosta selviää, mitä olisi tarjolla, ja abstrakteista saa lisävihiä. Tiededenialistiseen nyky-populismiin saattaisi osua visuimmin Gustavo Picazon pohdinta hevonpaska-argumentoinnin taksonomian kehittelystä, informallogic.ca/index.php/inf?

  5. Uusi numero Informal Logic -journaalissa on ilmestynyt, informallogic.ca/index.php/inf

    Sisältää mm. pohdintaa false dilemman virheellisyydestä, argumenttien hyveteoreettisesta arvioinnista, syvistä erimielisyyksistä, selitysten justifioivuudesta sekä jatkoa keskusteluun argumenteilla argumentoinnista.

    Pois-pääteltynä muistetaan päättelyvirheiden ja fiktion logiikkaa tutkinutta ja tietoteorian matematisoinnista haaveillutta John Woodsia.

  6. @tg9541 I haven't checked the contents of the new IL-issue yet. Not sure when I can. One article, however, the one about argumentation and change of minds, brought to my mind a short comment I made to Catarina Dutilh Novaes's 2023 article with an almost identical title: mastodontti.fi/@lupposofi/1106

  7. The latest issue of #InformalLogic presents several articles dealing with "argument" at the boundary of logic, psychology and sociology.

    This is of interest to anyone working in a community of knowledge, or on the matter of "truth" in the social.

    Thanks to @Lupposofi for pointing me to the journal. Subscription is free.

  8. In Informal Logic 4/2023 Harvey Siegel defends a pluralistic epistemic conception of argumentation, informallogic.ca/index.php/inf

    Other articles in the new/current issue argue against, for, and maybe by that, informallogic.ca/index.php/inf

  9. Chocolate ice cream and vanilla ice cream certainly do not contradict each other. I’m not even sure they can be said to be contraries in any clear way

  10. @DailyNous Interesting. Here's a 2021 Windsor Studies In Argumentation article on computer-aided argument mapping by Martin Davies, Ashley Barnett and Tim van Gelder, windsor.scholarsportal.info/om

    The volume contained several other articles about teaching CT, windsor.scholarsportal.info/om.
