Informal logic and real argument
Keywords:
argumentation, real argument, informal logic, object and meta-levels, logical tier, dialectical tier, rhetorical tier, meta-argumentAbstract
The paper focuses on real argument as a subject matter of informal logic as a discipline located in the borderland between logic and epistemology. The author studies the key features of such argument and gives its clear definition. She suggests considering it on object and meta-levels and within logical, dialectical and rhetorical tiers. She also proposes a method for the analysis of real argument with distinguished various kinds of meta-argument related to interpretation, evaluation and value characteristics of real argument.
