All Arguments and Positions

Named philosophical arguments, each a formulated chain of premises and a conclusion offered for or against a specific claim, such as the ontological argument for the existence of God, the problem of evil, the trolley problem, the Chinese Room argument and the Gettier problem, together with named positions or stances philosophers take within a live philosophical debate, such as compatibilism about free will, physicalism about the mind, moral realism and nominalism about universals. This is distinct from the single abstract ideas filed under Concepts, the whole traditions and movements filed under Schools of Philosophy, and the texts that state an argument filed under Works. Belongs here: a specific named argument with its own premise-conclusion structure, or a named stance a philosopher or school can be said to hold in an ongoing debate. Does not belong here: a bare philosophical concept with no argument structure of its own, filed under Concepts; a book or treatise that contains an argument, filed under Works; or an entire school or tradition built from many such positions, filed under Schools of Philosophy.
