Giving Reasons, 2011 A Linguistic-Pragmatic Approach to Argumentation Theory Argumentation Library Series, Vol. 20
The book takes into consideration the major current comprehensive accounts of good argumentation (Perelman?s New Rhetoric, Pragma-dialectics, the ARG model, the Epistemic Approach) and shows that these accounts have fundamental weaknesses rooted in their instrumentalist conception of argumentation as an activity oriented to a goal external to itself. Furthermore, the author addresses some challenging meta-theoretical questions such as the justification problem for Argumentation Theory models and the relationship between reasoning and arguing.
