ABSTRACT

In this book, I have been largely concerned with the theory of argument. In particular, I

have been advocating an approach to argumentation that grows out of informal (rather

than formal) logic. In the last chapter, I set forth my views concerning the agenda for both

the theory of argument and for informal logic. In this chapter, I now want to ask this

question: What is the best course of development for the theory of argument and informal

logic? How can they best achieve solutions to the problems on their respective agendas?
