The contemporary emergence of the jurisprudential model

Perelman in the information age

Josina M. Makau

pp. 305-319

Abstract

For over thirty years, Chaim Perelman admonished philosophers of argument to reject the widely accepted mathematical model of reasoning associated with cartesian philosophy.1 Much recent scholarship has supported Perelman's call to reject mathematical models of reasoning. Goodnight and Farrell, for example, "highlight the failure of technical knowledge to resolve social, ethical, or political dilemmas."2
