- Title
The Fallaciousness of Threats: Character and Ad Baculum.
- Authors
Walton, Douglas; Macagno, Fabrizio
- Abstract
Robert Kimball, in “What’s Wrong with Argumentum Ad Baculum?” ( Argumentation, 2006) argues that dialogue-based models of rational argumentation do not satisfactorily account for what is objectionable about more malicious uses of threats encountered in some ad baculum arguments. We review the dialogue-based approach to argumentum ad baculum, and show how it can offer more than Kimball thinks for analyzing such threat arguments and ad baculum fallacies.
