Abstract

In the current argumentation-theoretical discussion, no attention is paid to truly epistemically oriented dialogues that serve the cooperative and argumentative search for truth―called "discourses". The paper attempts to fill this gap. (1) After a precise determination of the desired conditions for discourses (epistemic goal, effectiveness, cooperativeness, argumentativeness, efficiency) (2) the game 'Disputation' (Lumer 1988) is presented and shown to fulfil these conditions, (3) while other discourse systems from the literature fall short of the conditions.
