Annotation
A comparative analysis between the theory of argumentation and rhetorics. It is argued that the former is a philosophical theory, whereas the latter is a special science; that they are both still at the stage of forming their concepts, principles and laws; that they have some common subjects and complement each other in some fields of research.
