Description
Theory of Argumentation: Traditional and Modern presents a thorough exploration of argumentative principles spanning centuries of philosophical and rhetorical thought. Ratna Dutta Sharma traces the development of argumentation from classical logic and rhetoric through contemporary analytical frameworks.
The work synthesizes traditional approaches rooted in Aristotelian logic with modern theories of reasoning and persuasion. It examines formal and informal fallacies, evaluates the structure of valid arguments, and analyzes how argumentation functions in different contexts from academic discourse to public debate.
Readers will discover how argumentation theory has evolved to address contemporary communication challenges while maintaining foundational logical principles. The book serves as both an academic reference and a practical guide for understanding how arguments are constructed, evaluated, and presented effectively across diverse fields and disciplines.
