Multidimensionality and Non-Deductiveness in Deliberative Argumentation

Abstract

In current argumentation theory, the focus is not often on deliberative argumentation as such. Many modern theorists tend to see argumentation as a homogeneous phenomenon. Even so, there has recently been a tendency to differentiate more, for example in the works of Douglas Walton, who has defined different types of argumentative dialogue. However, to understand deliberative argumentation better, we also need to differentiate in another way, namely on the basis of argumentative issues.
