The present work is a fair record of work I've done on the
fallacies and related matters in the fifteen years since 1986. The
book may be seen as a sequel to Fallacies: Selected papers
1972-1982, which I wrote with Douglas Walton, and which appeared in
1989 with Foris. This time I am on my own. Douglas Walton has, long
since, found his own voice, as the saying has it; and so have I.
Both of us greatly value the time we spent performing duets, but we
also recognize the attractions of solo work. If I had to
characterize the difference that has manifested itself in our later
work, I would venture that Walton has strayed more, and I less,
from what has come to be called the Woods-Walton Approach to the
study of fallacies. Perhaps, on reflection "stray" is not the word
for it, inasmuch as Walton's deviation from and my fidelity to the
WWA are serious matters of methodological principle. The WWA was
always conceived of as a way of handling the analysis of various
kinds of fallacious argument or reasoning. It was a response to a
particular challenge [Hamblin, 1970]. The challenge was that since
logicians had allowed the investigation of fallacious reasoning to
fall into disgraceful disarray, it was up to them to put things
right. Accordingly, the WWA sought these repairs amidst the rich
pluralisms of logic in the 1970s and beyond.
