Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The construction of a safety case and its assessment is partly a philosophical process and partly a linguistic process. Hence, dependability arguments can be viewed as texts, and literary theory can offer safety experts new techniques of critical evaluation. Th post- modern philosophy of deconstruction , strongly associated with philosopher jacques Derrida, is proposed as an experimental vehicle for testing this hypothesis. The traditional analytic approach to assessing an argument searches for false premises or invalid rules of inference. Deconstruction on the other hand views any kind of argument as a text, and demonstrates how that text reveals unintended meanings.
