The Rhetorical Theory of Argument is Self-Defeating
Cogency: Journal of Reasoning and Argumentation 3 (1) (2011)
Abstract
The rhetorical theory of argument, if held as a conclusion of an argument, is self-defeating. The rhetorical theory can be refined, but these refinements either make the theory subject to a second self- defeat problem or tacitly an epistemic theory of argument.Author's Profile
