"Coalescent Argumentation" is based on the concept that arguments
can function from agreement, rather than disagreement. To prove
this idea, Gilbert first discusses how several
components--emotional, visceral (physical) and kisceral (intuitive)
are utilized in an argumentative setting by people everyday. These
components, also characterized as "modes," are vital to
argumentative communication because they affect both the argument
and the resulting outcome.
In addition to the components/modes, this book also stresses the
goals in argumentation as a means for understanding one's own and
one's opposer's positions. Gilbert argues that by viewing positions
as complex human events involving a variety of communicative modes,
we are better able to find commonalities across positions, and,
therefore, move from conflict to resolution. By focusing on
agreement and shared goals in all modes, arguers can coalesce
diverse positions and more easily distinguish between minor or
unrelated differences and core disagreements. This permits much
greater latitude for locating shared beliefs, values, and attitudes
that will lead to conflict resolution.
