Bridging the gap between applied ethics and ethical theory, Ethical
Argumentation draws on recent research in argumentation theory to
develop a more realistic model of how ethical justification
actually works. Douglas Walton presents a new model of ethical
argumentation in which ethical justification is analyzed as a
defeasible form of argumentation considered in a balanced dialogue.
Walton's new model employs techniques such as: asking the
appropriate critical questions, probing accepted values, finding
nonexplicit assumptions in an ethical argument, and deconstructing
emotive terms and persuasive definitions. This book will be of
significant interest to scholars and advanced students in applied
ethics and theory.
