Annotation

A. develops a theory of juridical argumentation as one type of 'practical discourse' (distinguishing, for instance, internal and external forms of justification). Rules and principles are formulated and discussed. The book starts with a critical overview of various theories of practical discourse (including speech act theory, Habermas' consensus theory of truth, and Perelman's theory of argumentation).
