"Considering Pragma-Dialectics "honors the monumental contributions
of one of the foremost international figures in current
argumentation scholarship: Frans van Eemeren. The volume presents
the research efforts of his colleagues and addresses how their work
relates to the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation with
which van Eemeren's name is so intimately connected. This tribute
serves to highlight the varied approaches to the study of
argumentation and is destined to inspire researchers to advance
scholarship in the field far into the future.
Replete with contributions from highly-esteemed academics in
argumentation study, chapters in this volume address such topics
as:
*Pragma-dialectic versus epistemic theories of arguing and
arguments;
*Pragma-dialectics and self-advocacy in physician-patient
interactions;
*The pragma-dialectical analysis of the ad hominem family;
*Rhetoric, dialectic, and the functions of argument; and
*The semantics of reasonableness.
As an exceptional volume and a fitting tribute, this work will be
of interest to all argumentation scholars considering the astute
insights and scholarly legacy of Frans van Eemeren.
