Abstract

What is the purpose of argumentation? To win? Clearly, winning or losing an argument usually has consequences. These consequences can be less important, such as you having to do a small task that should have been done by your teammate, or very important, like your innocent client spending time in prison, if you are a bad lawyer. Whatever the case, the ultimate purpose of a dispute should be the truth and finding the best solution. Not winning. In an ideal world, all disputes would be conducted in a spirit of fair play. In a fair-play conversation, each participant enters with the willingness to convince the other, while allowing the possibility to be convinced herself. If people kept that in mind, the world would be a better place: a little dry, but better. However, in this less-than-ideal but fascinating world we live in, discussions often take wrong turns, so I have put together 10 fair-play rules to be remembered and hopefully followed in debates.
