The Philosophical Debate

What Is Debate?

One way to characterize a debate is “a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal.” Although similar to argumentation, debate sets itself apart insofar as it is more rigidly structured; instituting clear goals and processes allows for a more thorough and objective consideration of the reasons presented.

Salah satu cara untuk mempertunjukkan sebuah perdebatan adalah dengan "sebuah diskusi yang menonjolkan alasan-alasan dan menentang proposisi atau proposal." Meskipun mirip dengan argumentasi, tetapi debat dibuat lebih terstruktur; melembagakan tujuan dan proses yang jelas memungkinkan untuk pertimbangan yang lebih menyeluruh dan obyektif dari  alasan yang diberikan.
