Abstract
What many find striking about the Pragma-Dialectical theory is that it has a definite set of rules for conducting and evaluating critical discussions. I think these rules individually, and as a set, have a great deal of intuitive plausibility in their favour. Therefore, in this essay, I propose to look at the rules more closely and ask where they come from, how they may be justified, and whether there is any internal connection between them as a group.
