Lectures on the Theory of Argumentation

Argumentation. It permeates all spheres of human communication. We come across it everywhere, beginning from highly scientific discussions to kitchen arguments. It has been a subject of philosophical and scientific understanding for two and a half millennia. This textbook examines the main issues of the argumentation theory.

The book is addressed primarily to students, as a textbook on the course ‘Argumentation Theory and Practice’, but it will also be useful for anyone interested in problems of verbal communication, logic and rhetorics.
