Reviews

Co-authored by an international group of experts, Fundamentals of Argumentation Theory is a very useful resource for those seeking a solid grounding in the study of argumentation theory. -College, Composition and Communication ...an outstanding achievement, a summing up of the history and progress of a developing field of study, by writers who have been in the forefront of those developments. Van Eemeren, Grootendorst and Snoeck Henkemans, the lead authors, have coordinated the work of a truly international team of scholars drawn from among the chief contributors to theory and research in argumentation studies. The result of this remarkable collaboration is a comprehensive survey of the subject, set clearly in historical context. The contemporary study of argumentation is carried on within diverse intellectual communities employing many different disciplinary perspectives, yet this book traces virtually every strand. I can think of no better place to begin the study of argumentation. -Joseph W. Wenzel, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
