Thisbook is the edition of the Proceedings of the International Colloquium “Rhetoricand Argumentation in the Beginning ofthe XXIst Century” which was held at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Coimbra, in October 2-4, 2008, and wasorganized by Henrique Jales Ribeiro, Joaquim Neves Vicente and Rui AlexandreGrácio. The main purpose of the Colloquium was to commemorate the publicationin 1958 of the books La nouvelle rhétorique:Traité de l’argumentation, and TheUses of Arguments, by,respectively, C. Perelman/L.Olbrechts-Tyteca, and S. Toulmin. Butanother important goal was to take stock of the state of rhetoric andargumentation theory at the beginning of a new century. It was a unique event, withoutparallel in Portugaland worldwide - consideringits theme and its aims -,which gathered some of the World’s most renowned rhetoric and argumentationtheorists: Alan Gross, Douglas Walton, Erik Krabbe, Frans V. Eemeren, F. SnoeckHenkemans, Guy Haarscher, John Anthony Blair, Marianne Doury, Oswald Ducrot,Ruth Amossy.

The bookincludes a variety of very important contributions to rhetoric and argumentationtheory, ranging from those that naturally fall within the subject matter, tothe areas of philosophy, linguistics, communication theory, education theoryand law theory. The “art”, as it was called in the Medieval curricula, is nolonger a discipline amongst others and has became, according to the view ofsome specialists and largely owing to Perelman and Toulmin influences, a “new paradigm”of rationality for our age, which auspiciously encompasses all fields ofknowledge and culture.

The book is divided into five parts: I- Historical and philosophical studieson the influences of Perelman and Toulmin; II- Studies in argumentation theory;III- Linguistic approaches to argumentation theory; IV- Rhetoric; andcommunication theory / education theory approaches to argumentation; and V- Lawtheory approaches to argumentation.
