Recent work in argumentation theory has emphasized the nature of
arguers and arguments along with various theoretical perspectives.
Less attention has been given to the third feature of any
argumentative situation - the audience. This book fills that gap by
studying audience reception to argumentation and the problems that
come to light as a result of this shift in focus. Christopher W.
Tindale advances the tacit theories of several earlier thinkers by
addressing the central problems connected with audience
considerations in argumentation, problems that earlier
philosophical theories overlook or inadequately accommodate. The
main tools employed in exploring the central issues are drawn from
contemporary philosophical research on meaning, testimony, emotion
and agency. These are then combined with some of the major insights
of recent rhetorical work in argumentation to advance our
understanding of audiences and suggest avenues for further
research.
