Douglas Neil (Doug) Walton, a Canadian philosopher, was born in Hamilton, Ontario, on June 2, 1942; he died in Windsor, Ontario, on January 3, 2020. He contributed extensively and influentially to the field of informal logic and the theory of argumentation. His work inspired many by its broad and deep coverage of key themes in the field, such as the nature and classification of fallacies, of argumentation schemes, and of dialogue types. Any attempt by us to detail the various themes and subjects studied and shaped by Walton is bound to be incomplete because of the sheer abundance of his publications: We counted thus far 519 publications (62 books—among them 44 monographs, 275 journal articles, 59 contributions to books, 56 contributions to conference proceedings, and 67 reviews). In all of his works he combined a philosophical, logical, and theoretical point of view with a keen interest in real world practices and occurrences, expressing his insights in a down-to-earth way, and illustrating them by many attractive examples and case studies. Walton studied at the University of Waterloo (1962–1964), where he was a teaching fellow in philosophy (1963–1964) and received his bachelor’s degree with honors in 1964. He was granted permission to enter a PhD program at the University of Toronto without having taken a master’s degree. There he held a province of Ontario fellowship (1964–1967) and a Canada Council doctoral fellowship (1967–1969), as well as the positions of tutor at Victoria College (1965–1967), junior fellow at Massey College (1967–1968), and instructor at Scarborough College (1967–1968). In 1972, he received a doctorate from the University of Toronto after having completed a PhD thesis entitled The Meaning of ‘Can’: A Study in the Philosophy of Language (supervisor was John Woods; advisers were Barron Brainerd, Hans G. Herzberger, and Jordan Howard Sobel). Earlier, in 1969, Walton had taken up a position as lecturer at the University of Winnipeg, where he became assistant professor in 1971, associate professor in 1976, and full professor in 1982, the position he held until his retirement in 2008. From 1977 until 1986 he also held a chair as adjunct professor at the faculty of graduate studies of the University of Manitoba. After his retirement from the
