ABSTRACT
Deals with the criteria by which an artifact might be identified as philosophy. This gets into a classification of various sorts of direct discourse: their goals and how they seek to achieve them. Then another category is set out: indirect discourse which has different goals and moves from the direction of certainty toward probability and plausibility. This is the direction of inductive and abductive logic. Though both direct and indirect discourse philosophy seek to communicate claims to an audience, the procedures and standards vary. This chapter fills in how this other category is identified and how it works.
