not known why, but people tend to not only wrong, but also to argue.Regulars numerous forums and social networks largely engaged mainly verbal battles: one to defend their opinion, sometimes foaming at the mouth.In the battle to spend precious time and no less precious nerves, but participants do not lose heart: because we all know that in a dispute born truth, for which no shame and suffering.Nevertheless, there are certain subtleties that turn frank language in a polemic.Let's talk about the positive and negative sides of such a thing as a dispute, and define its role in society.
Tale - a lie
This phrase is very banal - everyone must have at least once in a lifetime I repeated it, putting straight, ironic or even sarcastic sense, because not every discussion can boast such a remarkable result.In most cases neither its subject nor the participants do not suggest such a success: in a dispute born truth only when the subject of the conversation, the interlocutors and not just "in the subject", but well enough educated to listen to the views of each other.
Perhaps the most impressive number of births a controversial truths in science.Each proposed theory or research is a kind of argument, during which the exchange of new knowledge and there.Rather, it is a mean old saying that truth is born in dispute.
Socrates, who is credited with the aphorism hardly thought so really.The famous philosopher rightly believed that the dispute is, in fact, is nothing but an attempt to impose their views opponent to get him to admit his own right.But human knowledge is far from perfect.What truth can be born in a dispute of two representatives of the ancient world, one of which says that the earth rests on three pillars, and the other - that the four turtles?
known that Socrates opposed the dispute - a dialogue, and laid on him the corresponding expectations, encouraging the person to talk to and communicate with the crowd.
What can and to argue
If you think about it, and the subject of debate is of great importance.How is it more complex and more specific, the more truth in the statement that in a dispute born truth: the uninitiated would not dream of discussing nuclear physics or molecular biology.To keep the conversation on these topics, you must have the appropriate knowledge.And to master them, you must have considerable intelligence, which, in fact, plays a decisive role in the birth of something worthwhile.
Unfortunately, most disputes, which account to participate or observe from the outside, it is unlikely especially meaningful.
And what better to remain silent
Albert Einstein believed that the policy - the subject is much more complicated than the theory of relativity.In this light, it is not clear why those wishing to discuss legenky theory so little, and leading specialists in International Relations - 99% of the adult population.
This is where the phrase "the truth is born in dispute" sounds a mockery of this.Over the futile and senseless pastime and it is impossible to imagine.Is there in the world anything more strange than the fact that thousands of adults who spend their life trying to convince that he was right a thousand others, knowing that it is absolutely impossible?
Besides mutual insults and personal offenses in such disputes is not born, and can not be born: because they involve people not only that incompetent, so still and does not affect the situation.
to respond positively to the question whether the dispute born truth, three things are important:
-
subject of the dispute;
-
of participants;
-
their competence.
Born in dispute
However, the civilized dispute may be another result, which is sometimes even better than the truth, and his name - a compromise.There are some areas of life in which the notorious truth does not exist, and if it is, "nobody knows."Anything for love, marriage, parenting periodically causes people to cross the invisible blades - and quite wrong.
There are some things in which the individual characteristics and preferences are the decisive factor.It's not necessary to seek the truth, and the ability to negotiate - this ability distinguishes intelligent beings from hard-nosed sheep.The only pity is that not everyone is clear.
Olympic principle
assert that in a dispute born truth, hardly always true, but at the same time sometimes participate in such an event "not only harmful but also useful", as satirists.
Even if the exchange of arguments and will not lead to a positive result, the need to substantiate their opinions to help bring thoughts in order to detect weaknesses in their own logical constructs.In the end, even the conclusion of meaninglessness dispute on the subject can also be no harm in the process of obtaining valuable experience.As they say, all of you can learn - the main thing is not to dwell on the already studied material.
Thus, saying: "The truth is born in dispute", the author lost his temper.Such an outcome can not be excluded, too, but with a fair amount of reservations.
ethics above all
As in any other arguments about the depths of human communication, we have to state again truisms about the importance of mutual respect, the transition to the unacceptability of abuse and the need to find the strength to appreciate and accept the opinions of others, even if theI do not share it.
Rules mankind has come up with a reason.There are areas in which the rule "in a dispute born truth" does not work and will not work ever.Therefore, in a decent society and accepted debate about politics, religion and football.If we stick to the basic rules, any conversation, even the hot, do not make bitterly regret it later, when passions poutihnut and opponents will count the losses.No wonder they say that at the very moment when the interlocutors feel anger towards each other, the dispute should end, and not vice versa.
