Title: Exploring epistemological approaches to argumentation: From evaluation standards to the practice of argumentation
Format: Working Paper
Publication Date: 2005
Description:

The paper distinguishes, in its first part, different epistemological approaches to argumenta-tion theory and criticizes those who focus on non-relative criteria of argument evaluation. The second part describes the basic idea of an alternative epistemological approach that fo-cuses on improving the practice of argumentation by a representational tool called Logical Argument Mapping (LAM).
