QUÉ SIGNIFICA DILEMMA EN INGLÉS

Dilema

Dilemma

Un dilema es un problema que ofrece dos posibilidades, ninguna de las cuales es prácticamente aceptable. Uno en esta posición se ha descrito tradicionalmente como "estar en los cuernos de un dilema", ni el cuerno que es cómodo. Esto a veces es más colorido describir como "Encontrarse empalado sobre los cuernos de un dilema", refiriéndose a los puntos agudos de los cuernos de un toro, igualmente incómodo. El dilema se utiliza a veces como un dispositivo retórico, en la forma "debes aceptar A o B"; Aquí A y B serían proposiciones cada una llevando a alguna conclusión adicional. Aplicada incorrectamente, constituye una falsa dicotomía, una falacia.

A dilemma is a problem offering two possibilities, neither of which is practically acceptable. One in this position has been traditionally described as "being on the horns of a dilemma", neither horn being comfortable. This is sometimes more colorfully described as "Finding oneself impaled upon the horns of a dilemma", referring to the sharp points of a bull's horns, equally uncomfortable. The dilemma is sometimes used as a rhetorical device, in the form "you must accept either A, or B"; here A and B would be propositions each leading to some further conclusion. Applied incorrectly, it constitutes a false dichotomy, a fallacy.
