Subject: Judging Philosophy for LD
This is my first take at writing this, so I apologize if it is
incomplete or not completely helpful. I will read some others later and
amend mine, but here it is for what it's worth.
I believe in slow debate. Word economy.
I do not believe in core values. I believe in criteria which are
relevant to evaluating the claim made by the resolution. I do not like
generic ideas such as justice being giving each person their due. Do
not focus on the value debate, focus on the resolution.
I like evidence for factual claims, but not so much for value
judgements. Give me reasoning, not quotations.
That's all for now.
