Disputation Participant Corrections

I corrected the mistake that said Rabbi Moses ben Nachman was also known as Rambam. The Ramban was Rabbi Moses ben Maimonides (Ram=Rabbai+Moses; bam=Maimonides). The ben in between the first and last names means son of and is used in the same manner as ibn in arabic (i believe, don't quote me on it though). Moses ben Nachman is also called Nachmanides. I'm not sure why. I believe that he was writing around the same time that the Rambam and both were considered to be some of the best and brightest Talmudic scholars at the time so Nachmanides shorthand name was probably attached to him out of similarity. Again don't quote me on that and please correct me if I'm wrong.Eli.zeldin (talk) 19:06, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Contemporary disputations"

I deleted the following section because it confused cognate vocabulary with actual lexemes:

==Contemporary disputations==

Today some universities practice scientific disputations. The oral defence of a doctoral thesis/dissertation is called "disputation" in some countries.

The languages that use a cognate of this term do not call dissertation defenses disputations (except in poorly translated English versions of academic policy documents). For example, Norwegian uses such a cognate: (Doktorgrads)disputas; that is, it calls the process a disputas (not a disputation), and (Doktorgrads)disputas would simply mean 'dissertation defense'.

That's not quite right. In Germany it is actually called "Disputation", at least at some universities (including the TU Braunschweig, where I will have my Disputation, not a Rigorosum, very soon). See also the German wikipedia article de:Disputation, which links to this article. Furthermore, if this term is not used anymore, it would be nice if this article would link to currently used term (e.g. something like "This article describes the defense of a doctoral thesis before ..., for contemporary usage see ...") 89.182.52.139 (talk) 18:55, 15 May 2012 (UTC) (ezander)[reply]

Is Disputation not Dialectics?

Is the process of disputation not dialectics? (1. (Philosophy) disputation or debate, esp intended to resolve differences between two views rather than to establish one of them as true)--Inayity (talk) 17:56, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
