DESCRIPTION:

Argumentation and (in)justice belong prima facie to two distinct philosophical domains—the former to logic and the norms of reason-giving, the latter to ethics and political philosophy. However, there are important and underexplored connections between them that merit closer examination. This special issue of Topoi: An International Review of Philosophy seeks to investigate how practices of argumentation are embedded in, shaped by, and potentially complicit with broader structures of (in)justice. We invite contributions that explore both how injustice can be manifested within argumentative exchanges and how argumentation might be mobilized to resist or redress injustice across various social, political, and epistemic domains.
