2008 CSWIP conference publication
Sep 09, 2010 → Dec 31, 2012
A special issue of Informal Logic: Reasoning and Argumentation in Theory and Practice titled “Reasoning for Change” grew out of the 2008 CSWIP conference, “Reason, Activism & Change: Philosophical Considerations,” and was edited by Phyllis Rooney and Catherine Hundleby. This journal is now open access and available online at informal logic.
The Table of Contents is given below.
The editors hope that this special issue will contribute to the ongoing development of (in Lorraine Code’s words) a “rhetorical space” between work in informal logic -- an established strength of Canadian philosophy -- and feminist philosophy.
Among the topics examined in this special issue are: adversarial argumentation (including in philosophy), gendered argumentation contexts, argumentative injustice (as a specific type of epistemic injustice), limitations of the fallacies approach to argument evaluation, and the implications for rhetorical argumentation of (feminist) epistemologies of situated knowledges.
