S. Toulmin. Cambridge University Press, (July 1958)
Abstract
This reissue of the modern classic on the study of argumentation features
a new Introduction by the author. A central theme throughout the
impressive series of philosophical books and articles Stephen Toulmin
has published since 1948 is the way in which assertions and opinions
concerning all sorts of topics, brought up in everyday life or in
academic research, can be rationally justified. Is there one universal
system of norms, by which all sorts of arguments in all sorts of
fields must be judged, or must each sort of argument be judged according
to its own norms? In The Uses of Argument (1958) Toulmin sets out
his views on these questions for the first time. In spite of initial
criticisms from logicians and fellow philosophers, The Uses of Argument
has been an enduring source of inspiration and discussion to students
of argumentation from all kinds of disciplinary background for more
than forty years.
