"The example of Pilcher does involve deductive reasoning in the "legal
reasoning" but this deductive reasoning is there only to make links between
different aspects of World 3 content that constitute the Pilcher problem."
Wikipedia has a rather extensive bibliography, I find, on 'casuistic'. So I
wonder, if the distinction can be made, to use the terms of McEvoy's not
this but earlier post, between
realist vs. conventionalist
AND between
case-based and principle-based?
It strikes me that another keyword may be CONSEQUENTIALISM.
The distinction case-based reasoning or casuistry as being _VERSUS_
principle-based reasoning" is attested in Wikipedia:
As for 'consequentialism', it applies to where McEvoy sees his
interpretation 'right' and the tutor's wrong. In McEvoy's words:
"The same may be said of "legal reasoning", turn and turn about. In the
Pilcher case, we understand the "legal reasoning" in terms of understanding a
World 3 problem-situation, which as my posts indicate may have many aspects
and even signficant aspects that are not obvious at first sight [e.g. that
in Pilcher a key to the problem is the effect of any solution on cases,
unlike Pilcher itself, where there is no trust over the house)."
Here above the word 'consequence' is not strictly used, but this quote
from Consequentialism entry in Wikipedia may relate (or not). It is B. A. O.
Williams's criticism to it!
"Bernard Williams has argued that consequentialism is alienating because it
requires moral agents to put too much distance between themselves and
their own projects and commitments. Williams argues that consequentialism
requires moral agents to take a strictly impersonal view of all actions, since
it is only the consequences, and not who produces them, that is said to
matter. Williams argues that this demands too much of moral agents—since (he
claims) consequentialism demands that they be willing to sacrifice any and
all personal projects and commitments in any given circumstance in order to
pursue the most beneficent course of action possible. He argues further that
consequentialism fails to make sense of intuitions that it can matter
whether or not someone is personally the author of a particular consequence.
For example, that participating in a crime can matter, even if the crime
would have been committed anyway, or would even have been worse, without the
agent's participation."
Finally, in ps, the references to CASUISTRY, which feature Toulmin, if not,
apparently, Popper.
Cheers,
Speranza
