Ag ACTournament: The Tradition | Round: 1 | Opponent: Pine View EL | Judge: Isaac Chao ND21 – AC – AgonismACFrameworkThe meta-ethic is moral pluralism – ethics can’t be defined universally rather conflicting ethical viewpoints have equal ethical worth – prefer:First, ethics are based in language - It creates out ability to think and makes us agents – life outside language is meaningless and without morality - Pettit 09:Phillip Pettit. Made With Words, Hobbes on Language, Mind, and Politics. 2009. http://www.jstor.com/stable/j.ctt7rp73.3 LHPYA AND to distinguish men from all other living creatures."(L 3.11). Language is structurally negative and doesn’t refer to reality – if I say I saw an oak tree you know I didn’t see a car or person but you can’t visualize what I did see – since our rationality is based in language truth is created by individuals rather than extrinsically found but that creates infinite violence over meaning creation - Parrish:Derrida`s Economy of Violence in Hobbes` Social Contract, Richard Parrish AND regarding whether or not a specific situation fits a commonly-held definition. However, the world doesn’t simply exist in irresolvable plurality. Pluralism creates constitutive competition over power within society. Only agonistic pluralism is capable of recognizing this and maintaining politics and ethics without arbitrarily granting power to certain groups by prioritizing their viewpoints. That means recognizing the Other’s right to their own ideas without labeling them an enemy to destroy – Mouffe 2k:(Chantal Mouffe, Professor at the Department of Political Science of the Institute for Advanced Studies. June 2000. "The Democratic Paradox") LHP YA AND
Thus, the standard is consistency with agonistic pluralism.Impact Calc:A~ There are 3 ways states can orient themselves with the us/them distinction: First, universality, in which they falsely deny the distinction’s existence, second, antagonism, in which you try to destroy the other, and third, agonism in which you accept the others’ difference. Since the resolution is a question of how states should interact, the only way to deny my framework is to prove either antagonism or false universality is better than agonism.Prefer the standard:1~ Actor specificity – the resolution is a question of what an ideal state ought to do - the state necessitates the paradox of exclusion — the necessary determination of who belongs to the state requires the exclusion of who doesn’t while including everyone makes exercising rights impossible, Mouffe 2k(Chantal Mouffe, Professor at the Department of Political Science of the Institute for Advanced Studies. June 2000. "The Democratic Paradox") AND are the ‘demos’ and the ‘people’." (41-44) 2~ K Solvency –A~ Controls the internal link to all K alts and radical politics – the ability to speak out and fight for particular reforms is guaranteed by the agonistic mindset – alternatives shut down the collective ability to communicate to others to advance that agenda.3~ Rule-following – there’s no correct interpretation of a rule, so only agonism is legitimate – it opens up spaces for diverse interpretations, Mouffe 4:Chantal Mouffe, ~Chantal Mouffe (French: ~muf~; born 17 June 1943)~1~ is a Belgian political theorist, formerly teaching at University of Westminster.~2~ She is best known for her contribution to the development—jointly with Ernesto Laclau, with whom she co-authored Hegemony and Socialist Strategy—of the so-called Essex School of discourse analysis,~3~~4~ a type of post-Marxist political inquiry drawing on Gramsci, post-structuralism and theories of identity, and redefining Leftist politics in terms of radical democracy. Her highest cited publication is Hegemony and Socialist Strategy: Towards a Radical Democratic Politics.~5~ She is also the author of influential works on agonistic political theory, including Agonistics: Thinking the World Politically and The Democratic Paradox.~ 2000, "The Democratic Paradox" LHP AV AND formulation, and this is why his contribution to democratic thinking is invaluable. 4~ Performativity – debate assumes that difference exists, which is specifically true for switch side debate, and debate must protect the right to disagree without being targeted for your difference to ensure safety.A~ switch side debate could not exist without agonism, making it a pre-requisite to being in debate in the first place.OffensePlan: Resolved: A just government ought to recognize an unconditional right of workers to strike.~1~ Recognizing the right to strike allows workers to engage in a form of violence, but one that can remain in the control of the state, and not escalate out of control of the law. Crepon and Bez 19:Crépon, Marc, and Micol Bez. "The Right to Strike and Legal War in Walter Benjamin's "Toward the Critique of Violence"." Critical Times 2.2 (2019): 252-260. AND
That links to my framework – objectivity is impossible so procedures for agonism have to be institutionalized, Mouffe 6:Chantal Mouffe, ~Chantal Mouffe (French: ~muf~; born 17 June 1943)~1~ is a Belgian political theorist, formerly teaching at University of Westminster.~2~ She is best known for her contribution to the development—jointly with Ernesto Laclau, with whom she co-authored Hegemony and Socialist Strategy—of the so-called Essex School of discourse analysis,~3~~4~ a type of post-Marxist political inquiry drawing on Gramsci, post-structuralism and theories of identity, and redefining Leftist politics in terms of radical democracy.

The creations of unions affirms the values presented in agonistic pluralism, ROOTRoot, Danielle, et al. "Unions Are Democratically Organized, Corporations Are Not." Center for American Progress, 20 July 2010, https://www.americanprogress.org/article/unions-democratically-organized-corporations-not/. AND like to thank Adam Stromme for his excellent research assistance on this brief. ROBThe role of the ballot is to evaluate the truth or falsity of the resolution through a normatively justified framework via fair, safe, and educational arguments. no tricks, yes phil and yes theory. Prefer it –1~ Reciprocity – normative frameworks provide a reciprocal burden of justifying an obligation with the ability to turn them – other frameworks are arbitrarily impact exclusive and don’t articulate a 1-1 burden2~ Philosophy – only our role of the ballot incentivizes nuanced discussions over the interactions of different ethical theories. That comes first –A~ constitutivism – LD debate is a values debate which means the intrinsic purpose of the activity is philosophical discussionB~ hijacks any voter – the question of why those are good relies on philosophical justification, ie constitutivism or something. | 11/13/21 |
G - UtilTournament: 48th Annual Harvard National Forensics Tournament | Round: 6 | Opponent: George Washington KR | Judge: Avery, Alex FrameworkPain and pleasure are intrinsically valuable – to justify beyond that runs into moral incoherence. Moen 16,Moen 16 ~Ole Martin Moen, Research Fellow in Philosophy at University of Oslo "An Argument for Hedonism" Journal of Value Inquiry (Springer), 50 (2) 2016: 267–281~ SJDI RCT by JPark AND places where we reach the end of the line in matters of value. Thus, the standard is maximizing expected well-being (Act Util). Prefer additionally:1~ Lexical pre-req. Threats to bodily security and life preclude the ability for moral actors to effectively act upon other moral theories since they are in a constant state of crisis. This means my offense OW under their fwk.2~ Actor specificityA~ governments must aggregate because their policies benefit some and harm others so the only non-arbitrary way to prioritize is by helping the most amount of peopleB~ Actor specificity comes first because different agents have different obligations. Takes out calc indicts because they’re empirically denied.3~ Degrees of wrongness – only consequences can explain why some actions are better or worse than others – breaking a promise to take someone to lunch isn’t as bad as breaking a promise to take a dying person to the hospital but only the consequences of breaking it can explain why, so all ethical theories collapse to util.4~ Topic lit – most articles are written through the lens of util since they’re crafted for policymakers and the general public to understand who take consequences to be important, not philosophy majors. Leads to better real world ed, important because that is the terminal impact of debate. Not a reason to drop the debater.5~ Extinction hijacks and side constrains the framework – it o/w and comes firstPummer 15 ~Theron, Junior Research Fellow in Philosophy at St. Anne's College, University of Oxford.
