Argumentative Ecology

Argumentative Ecology This essay elaborates a view of argument based in the metaphor of ecology. It promotes a revised pattern of argumentative inquiry in which ecologies of argument are described and evaluated. To make the case for such a study, the essay explores the perspective on argument promoted by the metaphor of ecology, then makes two applications: to the definition and evaluation of argument in a democracy, and to the just war doctrine. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Argumentation and Advocacy Taylor & Francis
