Argumentation theory studies the activities in which rational agents debate with each other. \; In artificial intelligence\, since the late 1980s there has been research that tries to use formal methods to approach argumentation theory. \; One perspective taken by those formal accounts for argumentation is that given a set of arguments\, to decide which arguments to accept\, we should look at not only the inner structure of each argument\, but also the relationship among those arguments. \;
\n\; \; One very young trend in the formal approach to argumentation is to study argumentation under the framework of modal logic. \; Two possible advantages of doing so are: (1) this is a new angle to look at argumentation\, which might lead to new insights\, and (2) technics in modal logic become available for studying argumentation. \; In my talk\, I would like to sketch a new way to connect argumentation theory with modal logic &ndash\; I would like to sketch a way to connect argumentation theory with justification logic.
