The paradox of double-bind theory in controversies
the case of "silence" in the philosophical questions that abounded during the eighteenth century in Europe
pp. 149-170
in: Giovanni Scarafile, Leah Gruenpeter Gold (eds), Paradoxes of conflicts, Berlin, Springer, 2016Abstract
The many controversies which take place in France during the eighteenth century and are usually viewed as the flag bearers of the revolution will be used by me to detect and prognosticate Double Bind situations which might shed a new light or add a different interpretation to some of the already known events. I will examine these events in light of the theory of controversies introduced by Marcelo Dascal as well as his contributions to Pragmatics. To detect the point in a controversy in which a Double Bind situation occurs offers an opportunity to untangle a stubborn knot, while applying a de-fixating antidote methodology. One of the speculations is a question I toy with for a while: Could silence be one of the detectors/cues for a Double Bind situation in intractable controversies.
