Abstract

[Argumentation theory is a house with many rooms that may seem bewildering to the newcomer. Given the aims and procedure of this book, as outlined in Chap. 1, we need to establish a map of the different theories. To draw that map is the purpose of this chapter. Starting with the major fact of the lexical ambiguity of ‘argument’ in English, we propose to distinguish three major types of theory, as they focus on arguments as abstract objects (like propositions or numbers), on the presentation and exchange of arguments in text and discourse, or on the whole communicative situation (what we often call a ‘discussion’) in which such presentation and exchange takes place. The two theories applied in this book to the analysis of the Russell-Copleston debate belong to the second and the third type.]
