    Debate
    “With words, we govern man.” – Benjamin Disraeli

    Argumentation

    “Audi alteram partem.”

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020


    Argumentation
    • is generally defined as the
    “art of influencing others,
    through the medium of
    reasoned discourse, to
    believe or act as we wish
    them to believe or act.”

    07/02/2020 3
    Argument
     Derived from the Latin word “ arguere” which means “to chide”
     It is the process of influencing the belief of behavior of a listener or reader, through
    spoken or written speech, by supplying him with reasons and stirring his feelings.
     It is a process of giving people “doxa” a Greek word which stands for “reasoned
    opinion.”
     The reasoned opinion is not absolute in character.
     It is subject to corrigibility, falsifiability, rectifiability, testability, and rational
    criticism.

    Debate

    “Audi alteram partem”

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020


    Debate
    • is a formal direct oral
    contest in argumentation
    between two or more
    persons on a definite
    proposition at a definite
    time.

    07/02/2020 8
    Debate vs. Verbal Wrangling
     Formal discourse  No formalities
     Artistic argumentation  No trace of art is involved
     Orderly exchange of opinions  Mere verbal tussle

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020 9


    Debate vs. Argument
     Each side dispute face-to-face  May not necessarily face each other
     Strictly oral contest  Include both oral and written
     Requires a definite format/rules  May or may not require set of rules

    “All debates are forms of arguments, but not all forms of


    arguments are debates.”

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020 10


    Two approaches in
    Argumentation
    and Debate
    “Redere auditores attentos, benevolos, y dociles”

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020


    Two approaches
    1. Conviction 2. Persuasion

     Appeal to reason  Appeal to emotion


     The phase whereby the arguer directs  The phase whereby the disputant
    his words to the reasoning faculty of directs his words to the heart, the
    man. sentiments and emotions.
     To create belief and intellectual  To stir and influence the audience
    agreement

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020 12


    Conviction alone…
     Is merely a state of mind
     Not sufficient to promote human progress
     Contentious may be true but lacks depth and believability
     May not stir the audience to believe in his course of belief

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020 13


    Persuasion alone…
     Is a pure behavioral impulse
     May result to a “blind following” scheme
     Instinct may not always be accurate
     Emotional appeal is fleeting and unreliable

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020 14


    Role of
    argumentation and
    debate to man’s life
    “Cogito, ergo, sum.”

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020


    1. Argumentation and debate
    are fundamental
     Men are in constant state of flux in searching for fundamental questions affecting
    his existence.
     It is innate in man’s nature to search for the truth

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020 16


    2. Argumentation and debate
    are universal
     “All men are, by nature, gregarious” and “To be is to be related.”
     Because of relations, one creates beliefs and attitudes.
     These beliefs and attitudes that create action, urging them to move, act and do.
     Attitude and beliefs are created, influenced and swayed through argumentation
    and debate, hence, argumentation and debate is of extreme importance to men.

    Salirick S. Andres | College of Arts | TIP Quezon City 07/02/2020 17


    3. Argumentation and debate
    are indispensable
     Argumentation and debate is both an art and science which aspires for mutual
    understanding and beneficial relationships.
     Argumentation and debate enables man to rise above all the other forms of animals
    because it develops his highest faculty; the intellect and the emotion.
     It makes a person well-rounded, armed with conviction and persuasive power.
