On the Preconditions of Rationality
In the field of legal argumentation theory, rational justification is probably the most important part, and yet it is not fully understood by scholars even today. In several publication the author has presented already presented her theory on this, but has not discussed all the preconditions. In the present contribution this will be handed in – at least in a short version. Thus, aspects of epistemology and linguistic theory are discussed, as well as what the author calls the ‘LBA theorem’ (from ‘The Least Bad Alternative’), which relies on the law of noncontradiction and describes a criterion for when exactly an assertion is rationally justified.
