Summary
Argument and imagination are often interdependent. Martin Warner explores how this relationship bears on argument's concern with truth, not just persuasion. He argues that the rationality of argument is not only a matter of deductive validity, but can be assessed in terms of criteria drawn from the study of imaginative literature.
