The author draws upon the familiar Toulmin model, Rescher?s discussion of presumption and burden of proof, and L. Jonathan Cohen?s presentation of the method of relevant variables. The book first assesses the warrant or inference rule connecting the premises to the conclusion. To analyzes this, the author asks a series of questions such as - should the warrant be evaluated by conclusive or defeasible standards? Does the argument require that its premises, if acceptable, guarantee that the conclusion is acceptable also or does it allow the premises just to present a body of relevant evidence? Is the inference rule backed or supported a priori or a posteriori? These distinctions form four categories of warrants: conclusive a priori, defeasible a posteriori, defeasible a priori, and virtually conclusive a posteriori. The warrants in each category are evaluated differently for how strongly the premises support the conclusion of arguments instancing those warrants. After presenting the rationale for this division and discussing our nonprobabilistic approach, the author analyzes the connection adequacy for each of these types of warrants. This book is of interest to scholars of argumentation theory. 410 0$aArgumentation Library,$x2215-1907 ;$v38 606 $aLogic 606 $aPhilosophical Logic 615 0$aLogic. 615 14$aPhilosophical Logic. 676 $a160 700 $aFreeman$b James B$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$032035 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910988284403321 996 $aAdequate Connections$94349607 997 $aUNINA
