Types of Dispute

 Dispute:

A dispute usually arises when a person A rejects as false an assertion made by another
person B or else makes a contrary assertion himself

 Types of Disputes:

There are three types of disputes.

1. Obviously Genuine
2. Merely Verbal
3. Apparently verbal but merely Genuine
1) Obviously Genuine Dispute:

m
er as
In obviously genuine disputes, the parties explicitly and unambiguously disagree,

co
either in belief or attitude.

eH w
 Example:

o.
A believes that Afghanistan is the western border of Pakistan but B denies that. They are
rs e
in genuine dispute about the geographical facts.
ou urc
*Disputes can be settled through ATLAS
o

2) Merely Verbal Dispute:

Merely verbal disputes arise when a key term in the disputants’ formulation of
aC s
vi y re

their beliefs is ambiguous, or when a phrase or word that is central in the dispute
has different senses that may be equally legitimate but that ought not to be
confused.
ed d

 Example:
If C hold that a tree falling in the jungle with no person to hear, it creates no sound,
ar stu

while D insist a sound really is produced by the falling tree. If a “sound” is the outcome
of a human auditory sensation, then both the person may agree that there was none or
if a “sound” is simply what is produces by the vibration in the air, then they may agree
is

that a sound was indeed produced.

Th

*Dispute can be resolve by coming to the agreement about how some words or phrases
are to be understood.

3) Apparently verbal but merely genuine dispute:

Apparently verbal but really genuine disputes are verbal only on the surface. The
parties involved may indeed misunderstand one another’s use of terms, but their
quarrel goes beyond this misunderstanding. Disputes of this third kind are
sometimes also called "criterial" or "conceptual."
