Excerpt

In this work, the fruit of some 30 years of research in the Hamburg argumentation group, the author proposes a new philosophical foundation for the study of argumentation. His theory can be briefly characterized as “pragmatic-dialectical”, since it is shaped by a Peircean pragmatism and a quasi-Hegelian dialectic.

Here and elsewhere, an italicized word or phrase is a technical term of Wohlrapp’s theory. Such terms will usually be italicized only at their first occurrence, and will be explained at that point or soon after.

Here and elsewhere, numbers in parentheses are page numbers of the book under review.

Pages 1–46 of the German original correspond to pages xiii–lxii of the English translation, and pages 47–500 of the German original to pages 1–419 of the English translation. Hence, roughly speaking, for German pages 1–46 the corresponding English page number is 12 + (50/46 of G) in Roman numerals, and for German pages 47–500 it is 419/454 of (G—46) in Hindu-Arabic numerals.
