Description

During this OMLET Special Seminar, we'll have three presentations by invited scholars on political argumentation theory. Our focus will be on what extremism is and how it affects argumentative exchanges, in what sense the assumption of universal argumentative norms and practices is both prevalent and problematic, and how we may understand deep agreements in contrast to deep disagreements from an argumentation theory perspective.
