Philosophical argument

The sorts of arguments used in philosophy are of a very interesting character, studied in many various ways by many philosophers in their writings about meta-philosophy.

In recent decades one of the more influential discussions of philosophical arguments is that by the prolific University of Pittsburgh philosophy professor [Nicholas Rescher]? in his book [The Strife of Systems]?. Rescher models [philosophical problem]?s on what he calls aporia? or an [aporetic cluster]?: a set of statement, each of which has initial plausibility but which are jointly inconsistent. The only way to solve the problem, then, is to reject one of the statements. If this is correct, it constrains how philosophical arguments are formulated.
