| Abstract: |
Prepared by scholars from
across the United States, the more than 80 papers in this collection
address new developments and recurrent problems in the theory,
practice, criticism, and teaching of argumentation. The papers are
organized according to 10 broad categories: argumentation theory,
argumentation in special fields, political argumentation, public
argumentation, forensics, value and policy debate, interpersonal
argumentation, group communication, argumentation and conflict, and
the practice and teaching of forensics. Specific topics discussed in
the papers include the following: (1) Aristotle's indebtedness to
the Sophists; (2) knowledge and argument; (3) argument-as-epistemic
and the matter of unsolvable problems; (4) argument in modern
economics; (5) moral argument in political history; (6) rhetoric in
the human sciences; (7) technical writing as argumentation; (8) the
American concept of progress in liberal argument; (9) creationism;
(10) storytelling as a mode of moral argument; (11) conventional
postulates of interpersonal argument; (12) interpersonal
disagreement; (13) root metaphors and terministic screens; (14)
value argumentation in a competitive setting; (15) "liberty,"
"order," and "public trust" in eighteenth century Anglo-Whiggism;
and (16) the influence of the judge on the debate round.
