25. Philosopher: The eighteenth-century thesis that motion is absolute asserts that the change in an object’s position over time could be measured without reference to the position of any other object. A well-respected physicist, however, claims that this thesis is incoherent. Since a thesis that is incoherent cannot be accepted as absolute. The argument uses which one of the following argumentative techniques? (A) Attempting to persuade by the mere use o technical terminology. (B) Using experimental results to justify a change in definition. (C) Relying on the authority of an expert to support a premise. (D) Inferring from what has been observed to be the case under experimental conditions to what is in principle true. (E) Generalizing from what is true in one region of space to what must be true in all regions of space. 是这道吗? 文中只说有个著名科学家不同意运动理论的观点, 没提出任何具体理由。 所以, 依赖权威。 |
