名詞

kritik (plural kritiks)

1. In formal debating, an argument that challenges a certain mindset or assumption made by the opposing team, often from the perspective of critical theory, rather than dealing directly with the topic under debate.
   • 2002, Kenneth T. Broda-Bahm, Perspectives in Controversy, page 300:

     Too much debate theory is based on power rather than reason. Kritiks are used as big sticks to avoid one of the duties closely associated with debating — research.

   • 2011, N. Andre Cossette, The Art of Debate: 12th Edition, page 123:

     You can make most theory answers without cards, but some cards do exist which specifically criticize kritiks on a theoretical basis.
