Synopsis

This book is a product of the Walton Reader project, which introduces students to Walton’s ideas. The Centre for Research in Reasoning, Argumentation and Rhetoric (CRRAR) and the PhD in Argumentation Studies from University of Windsor thought of carrying out a project that would introduce students to the work of Walton published in the Informal Logic journal. This book provides an overview of Walton's scholarship in informal logic. It includes papers on fallacies, argument evaluation, dialogues, and argumentation schemes. This Reader adds to the special issue of Informal Logic Vol, 42, No. 1 (2022) in the University of Windsor’s effort to remember and acknowledge the impact of Walton’s work in argumentation studies.
