	Ipsedixitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ipsedixitism is the pejorative term for an unsupported rhetorical assertion; it is a term in logic for a missing argument.
		An ipsedixitism is not explicitly defined as an axiom, and certainly not as a premise, but often appears as such in a syllogism like: "The economy needs more scientists, so expansion of science education will boost the future economy".
		The ipsedixitism is a self-referential appeal to authority.

		In rhetoric, an unsupported assertion is an ipsedixitism.
		An ipsedixitism can not be explicitly defined as an axiom, though it is often treated as the first step in a logic chain.
		Ipsedixitisms are introduced as though supporting argument is unnecessary, and as such invoke an implcit appeal to the authority of the author.

		Jeremy Bentham adapted the Latin "Ipse dixit" ("Himself said [1]") into the word ipsedixitism, which he coined to apply to all non-utilitarian political arguments.
		"the only standard that is ascertainable is one of ipsedixitism: 1) value is whatever the State Boardâs regulations declare it to be, and 2) the State Boardâs regulations can be modified and interpreted in any manner that the State Board wishes." ([4])
		For example; this dissenting opinion to a 1976 safety commission report accuses two commissioners (Barnanko & Cleary) of relying on an unsupported assertion:

		After spending years in higher academic circles as a grad students, I should tell you: just because somebody holds a degree from an elite school doesn't mean that his expert opinion is better than another expert's.
		Ipsedixitism is bad enough, but combined with a blind faith in elite schools, and it's positively pernicious.
		TThese days I think we’ve become more or less a culture that is happy to “leave the thinking to the experts” — or at least to give too much credence to the opinions and dicta of “experts.” Ipsedixitism is a lazy way out of thinking for oneself.

	History of Philosophy 47
		For it was Ockam and his followers who, by neglecting the serious study of the great masters of the school, contributed to bring about that profound ignorance of the real doctrines of Scholasticism which, at the opening of the new era, rendered impossible the alliance of the schoolmen with the advocates of the new science.
		Averroists wrought, irreparable injury to Scholasticism both directly and indirectly: directly, by their doctrines of determinism and of the unity of the active intellect, as well as by their principle that what is true in theology may be false in philosophy; indirectly, by their peculiar method, which was known as ipsedixitism.
		Before we turn to the study of the modern era it is necessary to give here a general idea of the character of Scholastic philosophy.

	Ipsedixitism - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		The ipsedixitism is unstated dogma, or believed to be a matter of fact, e.g:
		The Latin phrase is still commonly used as a synonym since the usage remains a literal translation; Mr A says that something is true because he says it is, and B tells C that this isn't good enough because only Mr A's own words back him up.
		The Indiana Supreme Court held that it violated the Indiana Constitution, because: "the only standard that is ascertainable is one of ipsedixitism: 1) value is whatever the State Board’s regulations declare it to be, and 2) the State Board’s regulations can be modified and interpreted in any manner that the State Board wishes."

	Jane Smiley Gets Absolutely Obliterated \| The Prometheus Institute
		Now, were some of your similarly-hysterical socialist myrmidons to read this rubbish, certainly they would accept your vitriol as some sort of gospel, content to sleep comfortably with the knowledge that some other leftist believes conservatives are evil.
		The lack of evidence supporting this noxious ipsedixitism speaks for itself.
		The architects of this strategy knew perfectly well that they were exploiting, among other unsavory qualities, a long American habit of virulent racism, but they did it anyway, and we see the outcome now--Cheney is the capitalist arm and Bush is the religious arm.

	I Disagree with Maureen Dowd
		Yet the singular theme of her recent work is that behind all that has gone wrong is George W. Bush.
		He is, in the Yoknapatawpha County of her sunless ipsedixitism, solely to blame; "his tragic inattention," his "deadly mixture of arrogance and incompetence," his "refusal to face reality"; it is these perceived idiosyncrasies alone that brought forth the terrible storm and the more terrible suffering, the desctruction and the death.
		She has made a deity, or rather a fetish, of President Bush, ignoring all more obviously culpable parties, in order to be able to focus her angst over the Louisianan catastrophe onto some tangible, if unclutchable, thing.

		The assessing officials should deny the Form 133 Petition for Correction of [an] Error based on the rationale that there is no error to correct.
		The Court described this example as the “apotheosis of ipsedixitism [because t]he State Board has no way of knowing whether the grades given by local assessors adequately accounted for the lowered reproduction cost associated with buildings for
		There was no analysis of whether the assessment was correct, just the reflexive finding that because the grades were lower than C, the subject improvements did not qualify for the kit adjustment.

		Chomsky had not a shred of evidence for this blood libel did not kept him from making it.
		After all, he had something far better than evidence -- he had his own opinion; or what Jeremy Bentham called ipsedixitism: something is true because I myself have said it is true.
		Yet Noam Chomsky was by no means alone in standing up in the days immediately following 9/11 and declaring that 9/11 was the expected and natural reaction of those who had been oppressed by American hegemony, and who, however immaturely, were fighting back in retaliation for what we had done to them.

	Apologetics Group - The Sagan of Science
		The first line of his best-selling book Cosmos is an ipsedixitism: "The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be." The statement is not argued; no evidence is presented for our consideration; no hint is given that this statement is open to revision of even the mildest sort.
		The Sagan has spoken; so let it be written; so let it be done.
		But where are the rigorous standards of evidence that apply to Sagan’s ipsedixitisms about the evolution of human brains, fingers, and toes?
