The Uses of Argument
Toulmin writes about the role of argumentation in various contexts, including law, politics, and science. There is a focus on the structure of arguments rather than the content, and how that can help us understand how arguments can be shaped or progress.. Toulmin, Stephen E. The uses of argument.
