Argument schemes—an epistemological approach
Christoph Lumer, Ian J. Dove · PhilPapers (PhilPapers Foundation) · 2011
The paper develops a classificatory system of basic argument types on the basis of the epistemological approach to argumentation. This approach has provided strict rules for several kinds of arguments. These kinds may be brought into a system of basic irreducible types, which rely on different parts of epistemology: deductive logic, probability theory, utility theory. The system reduces a huge mass of different argument schemes to basic types and gives them an epistemological foundation.
