Title: From syllogisms to audiences: The prospects for logic in a rhetorical model of argumentation
Abstract: Central elements of formal and informal logics are examined in order to show that the product-oriented (logical) approach does not in itself constitute an adequate model of argumentation. Rather, the logical must be grounded in a rhetorical account of argumentation with its fuller treatment of context and richer notion of relevance. Ch. Perelman's model is a particularly suitable candidate for this. Contrary to the claims of some theorists, logical features are important to Perelman's overall treatment of argumentation.
