SOLUȚIONAREA DISPUTELOR
Disputes Resolution

Summary/Abstract: By „dispute” we mean an argumentative dialog where each of the twoparts state opposite theses. Two sentences can be contrary if they have similar reference,but incompatible predicates (SIP – sentences with incompatible predicates). Usually, thedisputes are solved using force in different ways, but that does not mean that the winneris right and his thesis is true. Therefore, we cannot evaluate a thesis on the ground ofits success, but we need a reference mark for that. According to the Sophist school, theindividual is the only reference mark, so any SIP is equally justified. The absolutist point ofview claims that there is an objective reference mark and, consequently, the truth is, at itsturn, objective and unique. Finally, the relativist orientation rejects any objective referencemark, but the right thesis is not arbitrary, as the sophists thought, it is true relatively to thestate of the evaluator to a given moment. It follows that, for any evaluator, at a moment oftime, only one SIP is true.
