Abstract

The four contributions in this special issue on Argumentation Through Languages and Cultures deals with clear cases of such argumentative situations as they develop in different cultures and language groups. One of these papers comes from the Inuit oral culture; three papers from written cultures, Chinese, Muslim and Indian cultures. Among written cultures, the Indian and Muslim cultures have developed sophisticated theories of argument, while the Chinese culture, according to Graham (Disputers of the Tao—Philosophical argument in Ancient China, Open Court, Chicago, 1989, p. 169), combined “a sense of rigorous proof with the indifference to logical forms”.
