Abstract

GOMEZ, Julder. What is practical argumentation?. Co-herencia [online]. 2017, vol.14, n.27, pp.215-243. ISSN 1794-5887.  https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.14.27.9.

The subject of this text is the concept of practical argumentation, which can be defined as reasoning in social contexts that focuses on selecting an action to solve a practical problem. To develop this definition, I proceed as follows: First, I consider the main interest of the question, what is practical argumentation? Second, I present three important answers to this question and the critics to the first two of them. Third, I add a critic to the third answer and with this, I state the problem of the definition of practical argumentation. Fourth, I present as a thesis that practical argumentation is favorable or contradictory argumentation to a decision. Fifth, I state the difference between practical argumen tation from both the agent and the observer of the action on one hand, and on the other, I point out the difference between practical argumentation and soliloquy before practical problems. Finally, I pro vide a recount of the text progression towards a definition of practical argumentation as a conclusion
