And does the exchange of arguments bring opponents in a controversy closer to the truth? This study provides a new perspective on these pivotal questions. By means of multi-agent simulations, it investigates the truth- and consensus-conduciveness of controversial debates. The book brings together research in formal epistemology and argumentation theory. Besides its consequences for discursive practice, the work may have important implications for philosophy of science and the way we construe scientific rationality, as well.Synthese Library, Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science,0166-6991 ;357Debates and debatingDiscussionDebates and debating.Discussion.168Betz Gregor518069MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438358103321Debate dynamics4191998UNINA
