Handbook of Argumentation Theory

“This is a comprehensive textbook on the evolution of Epistemology, Logic, Metaphysics, and Philosophy traced from ancient Greece, Roman, to modern analytical approaches. … There is an excellent use of footnotes on nearly every page in this work and a complete chapter index as well as an endnote complete bibliography. I recommend this book to all philosophers and students of philosophy especially.” (Joseph J.

A book, in short, that shouldn’t be missing in any college or university library.” (Ton van Haaften, Argumentation, Vol. 30, 2016)<“The Handbook of Argumentation Theory is a most welcome contribution to the scholarship on communication. … a must-read reference source for different audiences. … the range of this volume is terrific, not simply for its impressive size and the amount of work of the authors, but on account of the depth of the analytical discussions of the different topics. … Handbook of Argumentation Theory is a monumental work, with each chapter having so much to offer.” (Sara Rubinelli, Journal of Argumentation in Context, Vol. 5 (3), 2016)
