The theoretical labor carried out over the past half-century in the field of argumentation theory has become so rich, heterogenous, and controversial by now that there is an urgent need for a philosophically reflected foundation. The present book attempts to deliver such a basis using, in particular, elements of dialectics (Plato, Hegel) and pragmatism (Peirce, Dingler, Lorenzen). It approaches argumentation against the background of the conditio humana: as the medium of maintaining and improving orientation for all aspects of life. This perspective is more abstract than the usual way of addressing argument as a specific way of persuasive communication. However, that abstract philosophical perspective allows, on a concrete level, a more realistic theorization of the practice of argument. Thus, it exhibits some significant new traits, mainly concerning its subjective and its dynamic side.

过去半个世纪在论证理论领域进行的理论工作已经变得如此丰富、异质和充满争议，迫切需要一个哲学反思的基础。本书特别尝试使用辩证法（柏拉图、黑格尔）和实用主义（皮尔士、丁勒、洛伦岑）的元素来提供这样的基础。它以人的条件为背景进行论证：作为维持和改善生活各个方面方向的媒介。这种观点比将争论作为一种特定的有说服力的沟通方式的通常方式更抽象。然而，在具体层面上，这种抽象的哲学观点允许对论证实践进行更现实的理论化。因此，它表现出一些重要的新特征，
