Since 1986 Springer, formerly Kluwer Academic Publishers, publishes the
international interdisciplinary journal Argumentation. This journal is a medium
for distributing contributions to the study of argumentation from all schools of
thought. From a journal that published guest-edited issues devoted to specific
themes, Argumentation has developed into a regular journal providing a platform
for discussing all theoretical aspects of argumentative discourse. Since 1999 the
journal has an accompanying book series consisting of volumes containing
substantial contributions to the study of argumentation.
The Argumentation Library aims to be a high quality book series consisting of
monographs and edited volumes. It publishes texts offering important theoretical
insights in certain major characteristics of argumentative discourse in order to
inform the international community of argumentation theorists of recent develop-
ments in the field. The insights concerned may pertain to the process of
argumentationbutalsotoaspectsofargumentativetextsresultingfromthisprocess.
Thismeansthatbookswillbepublishednotonlyonvarioustypesofargumentative
procedures,butalsoonthefeaturesofenthymematicargumentation,argumentation
structures, argumentation schemes and fallacies.
Contributions to the series can be made by scholars from a broad variety of
disciplines, ranging from law to history, from linguistics to theology, and from
science to sociology. In particular, contributions are invited from argumentation
theorists with a background in informal or formal logic, modern or classical
rhetoric, and discourse analysis or speech communication. A prerequisite in all
cases is that the contribution involved is original and provides the forum of
argumentation theoristswith anexemplary specimen of advanced scholarship. The
Argumentation Libraryshouldenrichthestudyofargumentationwithinsightsthat
enhance its quality and constitute a fruitful starting point for further research and
application.
All proposals will be carefully taken into consideration by the editors. They are
to be submitted in fourfold. If the prospects for including a certain project in the
series arerealistic,theauthor(s) willbeinvited tosendatleast threerepresentative
