"This book provides a systematic analysis of many common argumentation schemes and a compendium of ninety-six schemes. The study of these schemes, or forms of argument that capture stereotypical patterns of human reasoning, is at the core of argumentation research. Surveying all aspects of argumentation schemes from the ground up, the book takes the reader from the elementary exposition in the first chapter to the current state of the art in the research efforts to formalize and classify the schemes, outlined in the last three chapters. It provides a systematic and comprehensive account, with notation suitable for computational applications that increasingly make use of argumentation schemes."--BOOK JACKET.
