The Routledge Handbook of Argumentation Theory offers 43 chapters—written specifically for this volume by a team of leading international scholars—that survey a wide spectrum of research on the nature, purpose, and promise of argument and the associated practice of argumentation. Each chapter provides a state-of-the-art survey to help readers understand and engage with the field’s main ideas and problems.The book is split into two parts:Part I covers orienting approaches in argumentation studies.Part II focuses on the main debates in argumentation theory.The Handbook illustrates how different disciplines contribute to argumentation theory, integrating contributions from logic, epistemology, social psychology, political science, communication, rhetoric, and other fields. This volume thus provides researchers and students with a picture of the diversity and depth to the work in argumentation theory today. Throughout, it clarifies complex questions and methods in this evolving field of study. And references at the end of chapters and a comprehensive index at the back of the book provide readers with central resources for further work in this important area of research.

“Leading scholars present the key approaches and debates shaping argumentation theory today. By examining the current state of research and offering their own reasoned perspectives, they show how the field thrives at the intersection of philosophy, communication, and rhetoric. This handbook serves as a guide for newcomers and marks an important advance in the discipline.”-- Jan Albert van Laar, Professor of Philosophy at University of Groningen, Netherlands.“The Routledge Handbook of Argumentation Theory is an indispensable guide to the interdisciplinary study of argumentation. It features a representative selection of senior scholars and emerging voices, who are mapping current debates while also charting new directions. The Handbook highlights the theoretical, empirical, and ethical stakes of argument in our time, addressing tensions between logic and rhetoric, cooperation and conflict, normative standards and practice. Rich in insight and range, it offers students, educators, and researchers a clear entry point into ongoing debates as well as a compelling invitation to further extend and refine the study of argumentation.”-- Jean Wagemans, Professor of Cognition, Communication, and Argumentation, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
