CFP: Special Issue of Arkete "The Rhetorical Turn in Argumentation Theory"
Submission deadline: November 30, 2018
Details
Sixty years after the publication of Chaim Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca's Traité de l'argumentation and Stephen Toulmin's The Uses of Argument, Arkete welcomes submissions fo a special issue on The Rhetorical Turn in Argumentation Theory.
Perelman, Olbrechts-Tyteca and Toumin marked a revolution in twentieth-century rhetorical theory. Perelman and Olbrechts-Tytecas propose a New Rhetoric based on a resumption of classical rhetoric and dialectics and opposed to Cartesian rationalism, while Toulmin frames not only a theory of argumentation, but also a revision of logic as a science.
This issue of Arkete aims to explore the New Rhetoric and the contemporary theory of argumentation from different perspectives. Possible topics:
- Argumentative rationality
- Reasonableness and normativity
- Argumentative Schemes
- Theories of Argumentation for Education
- Rhetoric and Informal Logic
- Discourse Analysis
Please note that the above is a *non-exhaustive* list of possible topics. Submissions on any aspect of the rhetoric and theory of argumentation are welcome.
