  • Chapter
Anyone Who Has a View

Part of the book series: Argumentation Library ((ARGA,volume 8))

Abstract

Emotion, intuition, and physicality are not plagues that stalk the land of Reason, but perfectly natural and ordinary components of all human endeavor... we must analyze as serious components of argument those non-linear, non-logical activities of communicative practice... Argumentation Theory, if it is to come to truly serve the needs of real situated arguers, must open the concept of rationality to include the non-logical modes as legitimate and respectable means of argumentation. — Michael Gilbert, Coalescent Argumentation (1997, 26; 141–142)
