    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Gadamer's hermeneutics shows that interpretive conflicts are resolved through fusion of horizons, not reciprocal perspective-taking between discrete subjects.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Fusion of horizons is a historically situated, tradition-mediated process that cannot be reduced to a bilateral coordination of perspectives.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, mutual perspective-taking presupposes the very shared interpretive ground it claims to establish, rendering it explanatorily circular.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein's rule-following considerations establish that shared social practices are prior to any act of perspective-taking by participants.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If meaning in social practices is grounded in community agreement and training rather than inter-subjective negotiation, perspective-taking is a post-hoc rationalization of an already-functioning normative order.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Adjudicating interpretive conflicts therefore requires appeal to background practice, not the mutual perspective-taking that background practice already enables.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Adjudicating such interpretive conflicts requires a mode of practical reasoning that coordinates multiple perspectives.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Mutual perspective taking constitutes its own mode of practical reasoning.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
