This publication, "Argumentation Schemes," authored by Douglas Walton, Christopher Reed, and Fabrizio Macagno, offers a comprehensive exploration of common argumentation schemes and presents a compendium of ninety-six such schemes. It delves into the core of argumentation research by examining these forms of argument, which represent stereotypical patterns of human reasoning. The book systematically progresses from fundamental concepts to the forefront of research in formalizing and classifying argumentation schemes, providing a thorough account with notation designed for computational applications.
The purpose of this manual is to serve as a definitive resource for understanding and applying argumentation schemes. It covers the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of these reasoning patterns, making it an invaluable tool for researchers, students, and practitioners involved in the study of logic and reasoning. The content is structured to guide the reader through a systematic analysis, ensuring a deep comprehension of the subject matter.
This book provides a systematic analysis of many common argumentation schemes and a compendium of 96 schemes. The study of these schemes, or forms of argument that capture stereotypical patterns of human reasoning, is at the core of argumentation research. Surveying all aspects of argumentation schemes from the ground up, the book takes the reader from the elementary exposition in the first chapter to the latest state of the art in the research efforts to formalize and classify the schemes, outlined in the last chapter. It provides a systematic and comprehensive account, with notation suitable for computational applications that increasingly make use of argumentation schemes.
