Abstract: | I argue that argumentation is not to be identified with (attempted) rational persuasion, because although rational persuasion
appears to consist of arguments, some uses of arguments are not attempts at rational persuasion. However, the use of arguments
in argumentative communication to try to persuade is one kind of attempt at rational persuasion. What makes it rational is
that its informing ideal is to persuade on the basis of adequate grounds, grounds that make it reasonable and rational to
accept the claim at issue. |
