Defeasible Logic for Automatic Argumentation

description

You can’t escape arguments. They represent the fabric of world understanding at any level of resolution you want to interpreter the reality. There is no choice or decision we make without supporting or confuting other choices advanced from others or even from ourselves. Arguments are everywhere. Monty Python's Argumentation ClinicIn a famous old television series, a patient enters a clinic for having an argument but the specialist clear the demand by simply denying whatever patient says. For that, the patient complains that a mere denial of a proposition is not an argument. “An argument - my fellow doctor - is a connected series of propositions that are intended to support or refute some other kind of proposition!”. The client shouts. Which is not so different from: “Argumentation is a verbal, social, and rational activity aimed at convincing a reasonable critic of the acceptability of a standpoint by putting forward a constellation of propositions justifying or refuting the proposition expressed in the standpoint1.” van Eemeren and Grootendoorst, 2004. ↩
