| Charity vs Problem of missing information |
|
Definition
Charity is giving the arguer the benefit of the doubt. You have to assume the person is rational in an argument at first even if they are not.
Missing info is info that is withheld when giving an argument that is crucial in making your interpretation. Arguments depend on interpretation. Some answers will be more persuasive and not all answers are wrong.
Missing info gives rise to charity because if all arguments were explicit charity wouldn't needed. |
