Argument analysis

Harald R. Wohlrapp

pp. 315-360

Abstract

Any argumentation analysis of a given text faces interpretation problems and has to respect a version of the principle of charity. At the same time, the analyst has to be furnished with a vivid commitment to the issues that are being discussed. In the present approach, this has led to a principle of reflected participation. This chapter presents an extensive analysis and argumentative assessment of a discussion about the status of the human embryo between two prominent intellectuals in Germany (Hubert Hüppe, Reinhard Merkel).
