Feminist theorizing about argument can be traced at least back to
1983, with the publication of Janice Moulton’s article “A Para-
digm of Philosophy: The Adversary Method.” But feminist roots
really take hold in argument theory with the 1990s work by Trudy
Govier (1993; 1999) and Michael Gilbert (1994; 1997), and the
special issue of Argumentation and Advocacy edited by Catherine
Palczewski (1996). A range of approaches emerged in the 1990s,
but then the discourse largely subsided until 2010, when Informal
Logic published volume 30(3), Reasoning for Change. As editors
of that volume, Phyllis Rooney and I hoped to breathe fresh life
into the project and to draw in new voices to develop the “rhetori-
cal space” (Code 1995), connecting feminist philosophy to infor-
mal logic, the philosophical study of argument.1 Now, ten years
later, feminist argument theory has a greater academic presence
and continues to involve new perspectives. It has also become
more non-ideal, more intersectional, and more interdisciplinary.
This new volume provides a case in point.
In the 1980s and early 1990s, feminist philosophical scholar-
ship about argument tends to criticize existing practices and ideals
1 I use ‘argument’ and ‘arguing’ interchangeably to address the range of practic-
es associated with the expression of reasons.

in the discipline of philosophy that tend to be associated with
dominant forms of masculinity, especially the use of metaphors of
aggression and war when philosophers describe to students’ argu-
ment and the related adversarial methods of reasoning (Moulton
1983) that dominate philosophers’ conceptions of their own disci-
pline. Some of the literature at this time also cites the misuse of
the fallacies approach to argument evaluation to dismiss feminist
philosophy (Crouch 1991; 1993), and many pieces raise concerns
about bias in critical thinking education (Ayim 1988; 1991; 1995;
Warren 1988; Alston 1995; Bailin 1995; Norris 1995)—an educa-
tion provided mostly by philosophers and philosophy departments.
Much of this early work cites Andre Nye’s Words of Power: A
Feminist Reading of the History of Logic (1990) that criticizes the
historical Western idealization of abstract and formal logic, and it
rejects Nye’s suggestion of substituting “reading” for argument
and logic. What the early writers share with Nye is a critical eye
on the past and its influence on norms for argument, with a focus
on the discipline of philosophy.
Into the 1990s, the initial critical responses to the discipline
gave way, a shift marked by the Informal Logic publication of
Michael Gilbert’s “Feminism, Argumentation and Coalescence”
(1994), a prelude to his 1997 book Coalescent Argumentation.
Gilbert’s positive model involves feminist concerns in part by
recognizing the roles that emotion and other dimensions of situat-
ed reasoning play within his “multi-modal” account of argument,
wherein emotional argument is one mode along with the logical,
the visceral, and the kisceral (intuitive). Gilbert’s central notion of
coalescent argument also addresses feminist concerns about the
adversariality of argument by making the value of exchanging
reasons depend on the points of agreement that reasoners come to
find among themselves as arguments develop. Daniel Cohen
(1995) also takes up the concerns about adversariality by exploring
a range of metaphors that can capture different dimensions, styles,
and purposes that arguers have.
Continuing the trend in constructive responses to feminist cri-
tiques, in The Philosophy of Argument (1999), Trudy Govier
suggests that adversarial arguing has an important value in helping
reasoners negotiate controversy by drawing their attention to the

range of possible weaknesses involved in any position on a con-
troversial issue. More generally, the book argues, in response to
both feminist and non-specifically feminist critiques of critical
thinking education and philosophical reasoning, for the value of
continued research in informal logic. Govier’s own theoretical
work sets the standard for much of the subsequent feminist re-
search by marking a distinction between the “ancillary adversarial-
ity” of “name-calling... animosity, hostility, failure to listen and
attend carefully, misrepresentation” (p. 245) and the adversariality
she sees as intrinsic to argument that involves simply a position
opposing another person’s position and which she describes as
“minimal adversariality.” In light of the pivotal role of Govier’s
1999 book in the development of feminist argument theory, femi-
nist scholars may find it fruitful to explore her earlier book, Prob-
lems in Argument Analysis and Evaluation (1988) that was out of
print for many years but is now available open access through
Windsor Studies in Argumentation.2
Argument theory and feminist theory are both interdisciplinary,
and feminist argument research from rhetorical studies and com-
munications studies crystalizes with Palczewski’s volume on
“Argumentation and Feminisms” (1996) and with the initial pro-
posal by Sonja Foss and Cindy Griffin (1995) of the project of
“invitational rhetoric” that challenges the typical assumption in
rhetorical studies that persuasion provides the guiding norms for
argument. Other communications scholars, such as Jennifer Bone
and T. M. Linda Sholz, contribute to the program that develops a
new rhetorical norm of inviting others to understand as a basis for
creating relationships of interpersonal equality that recognize
immanent value and provide for people’s self-determination
(Bone, Griffin and Scholz 2008). A steady trickle of papers devel-
oping the invitational rhetoric program emerged in the first decade
of the 21st century, and parallel values orient the communication
studies textbook by Josina M. Makau and Debian L. Marty (2001;
2013). A new collection on the subject edited by Foss and Griffin
just appeared in 2020. None of this has received much uptake from
feminist philosophers, although the concerns motivating invita-

tional rhetoric that persuasion involves imposing views on another
person have certain similarities to recent philosophical interest in
how the involuntary character of belief makes argument adversari-
al (Casey 2020; Howes and Hundleby forthcoming 2021).
Reasoning for Change includes five articles cultivated by a
conference of the Canadian Society for Women in Philosophy (C-
SWIP) held at the University of Windsor in 2008 and published
alongside a 2010 issue of Studies in Social Justice entitled Just
Reason containing four articles and a book review.3 The pieces in
Studies in Social Justice address questions about the role of moral-
ity and social justice in the operation of reasoning, especially
regarding the inadequacy for achieving social justice of the way
that scholars have employed certain terms and normative concep-
tions but with implications for personal action and thought. Re-
becca Mason examines the concept of “civic deliberation” and
argues that it demands “identity politics” because cultural identity
provides a necessary epistemic resource for civic debate. What
counts as “political expertise” comes into question from Shari
Stone-Mediatore, who considers the routine institutionalized social
violence of war and how families of combatants have understand-
ings that reveal problems with the ideal of rationality as detach-
ment. The manner in which reasoners distinguish the “religious”
from the “secular” comes under scrutiny from Ada Jaarsma, who
finds that it always involves conceptions of the “self” and of “jus-
tice.” Attention to these underlying commitments can help reason-
ers choose their paths forward in full mind of the contingency of
their own ideals and goals. Self-transformation also occupies Clara
Fischer (2010), who argues in Deweyan terms for the value of
personal transformation for propelling social and political progress
in a way that includes the evolution of “progress” as a concept.
Much of the discussion collected in Just Reason deserves further
attention in light of contemporary concerns about deep disagree-
ment and public conflict, issues also addressed by Kathryn Phillips
in the current volume.

dian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

The 2010 Informal Logic issue, 30(3), attends more directly to
the public expression of reasons, which goes by the name of “ar-
gument.” It commences with Phyllis Rooney’s article, “Philoso-
phy, Adversarial Argumentation, and Embattled Reason,” a devel-
opment from her presentation at the 2003 conference of the Ontar-
io Society for the Study of Argumentation (Rooney 2004) that
contests Govier’s defense of minimal adversariality. In 2003,
Rooney argued that the epistemological purposes for arguing
reveal it to be a collaborative process from which everyone in-
volved gains, and so adversaries need not be involved. More evi-
dence that arguing serves purposes besides persuasion has
emerged from empirical research on argument in recent years. The
speech act of argument—the sharing of reasons—can serve many
purposes aside from persuasion, including cognitive or heuristic
aims, identity creation, relationship building, and demonstrating
one’s rational capacities (Doury 2012; Goodwin and Innocenti
2019).4 For Rooney in 2010, the concern was less with assuming
that argument serves persuasion and more with problematizing
how philosophers conceptualize rational persuasion. She points to
a long history in Western philosophy of viewing reason as mascu-
line and embattled against forces of unreason, but especially emo-
tion and other feminine tropes.
The masculinity of the discipline of philosophy also provides
the context for Sylvia Burrow’s concerns in “Verbal Sparring and
Apologetic Points: Politeness in Gendered Argumentation Con-
texts.” Burrow argues that women face a double bind in philosoph-
ical discourse insofar as their arguments become discounted re-
gardless of whether they engage in more adversarial or more co-
operative styles of reasoning associated with femininity: “either
endorsing or transgressing norms of feminine discourse can seri-
ously diminish women’s possibility for argument success” (Bur-
row 2010, p. 237). Identifying the problem to lie in gendered
standards of politeness, Burrow advises that women employ a
4 It is important to note that Mariane Doury does not challenge the idea that
adversaries are implicit to arguing, only that they must always be present and
provide the audience for an argument in a way that makes persuasion and
adversarial interaction the purpose of expressing reasons.

selective politeness used strategically to maximize their argumen-
tative goals.
Patrick Bondy (2010) connects the concern about how women’s
arguments are received with Miranda Fricker’s conception of
epistemic injustice and specifically testimonial injustice. His pa-
per, “Argumentative Injustice,” offers a strategy for addressing the
problem that social identities may undermine the participation of
some arguers. Bondy (2010) suggests that arguers remember this
and adopt a practice of “metadistrust” involving scepticism regard-
ing our judgements of whom and whose arguments to trust.
My paper, “The Authority of the Fallacies Approach to Argu-
ment Evaluation,” returns to earlier themes in feminist argument
scholarship, the adversarial quality of the discipline of philosophy,
and the values embedded in critical thinking education. An analy-
sis of critical thinking textbooks in philosophy finds that the
presentation of fallacies exhibits a strong pattern of adversarial
reasoning identified by Moulton (1983) as the Adversary Method,
providing empirical evidence in favour of Moulton’s claim that the
method dominates philosophy like a Kuhnian paradigm.
James Lang’s “Feminist Epistemologies of Situated Knowledg-
es” caps off the volume by considering the epistemological obsta-
cles and resources for feminist arguing, especially within philoso-
phy. He combines Lorraine Code’s and Donna Haraway’s feminist
epistemologies to expand on Christopher Tindale’s (1996) theory
of rhetorical argument so as to explain and encourage individual
development of feminist thought.
Three of the five papers from 2010, those by Rooney, Burrow,
and Hundleby, address adversarial dimensions often present when
people argue and adversarial norms often used to evaluate specific
lines of argument. These three papers from Reasoning for Change
revived and brought new focus to the question of adversariality in
developing Moulton’s concerns and viewing the problem with
adversarial argument as running deeper into argument practices
and norms than the metaphors used to describe arguments, even
the metaphor of argument-as-war. This line of scholarship is be-
coming known as the “adversariality debate,” and an issue of the
journal Topoi on the topic edited by John Casey and Katharina
Stevens is currently in press. Related discussion about metaphors

of war and aggression is also continuing (Aikin 2011; Lloyd
2014).
During the intervening period in philosophy, the scholarship
with implications for feminist accounts of argument grew in many
ways, notably in the emerging field of social epistemology. Much
of this relates to Fricker’s influential conception of epistemic
injustice and so to the questions raised by Bondy about argumenta-
tive injustice. Testimonial authority and its effects on argument
practices and ideals that Rooney, Burrow, and Bondy addressed in
2010 have become discussed in terms of authority and the fallacies
known as ad hominem (Kotzee 2010; Linker 2014; Yap 2013;
2015) and ad verecundiam (Al Tamimi 2013; Ciurria and Al
Tamimi 2014); plus, new work on how anger operates in argu-
ments (Howes and Hundleby 2018; Tanesini 2018) challenges
whether the issues can be subsumed under discussions of the
fallacy of appeal to emotion. Most of this scholarship suggests that
fallacy analysis is inadequate to address challenges that social
justice poses for argument standards and arguing practices, and yet
some scholars suggest that new fallacy categories may help to
identify and diagnose particular problems in reasoning observed
by feminists (Anger and Hundleby 2016; Hundleby 2016). The
fallacies approach to argument evaluation may not suffice, but it
might help.
The period is also marked by the publication of several text-
books influenced by feminist argument theory: the extensive revi-
sion by Makau and Marty for the second edition of their textbook
Dialogue and Deliberation (2013); Michael Gilbert’s Arguing with
People (2014); and Maureen Linker’s watershed Intellectual Em-
pathy: Critical Thinking for Social Justice (2015). However, the
bulk of philosophy textbooks for critical thinking and argument
education continue to evince the problems that I identified in the
2010 volume.5
5 I discussed this further in a blog and developed a guide to critical thinking
textbooks in philosophy called “Critical Thinking2” in the aim of promoting
awareness of the practices and pitfalls of critical thinking education by philoso-
phers: https://chundleby.com/critical-thinking/. The problems I identify adhere
almost exclusively to authors with no research record related to argument or
logic. “Critical Thinking2” has not been updated recently.

The papers in the current volume build on more recent scholar-
ship in feminist epistemology, as is to be expected. Fricker’s con-
ception of epistemic injustice continues to feature regularly, but
whereas the papers in Reasoning for Change draw heavily on
Lorraine Code, Donna Haraway, Genevieve Lloyd, and Janice
Moulton, all writing before 2000, the current volume significantly
engages more recent feminist theory from Patricia Hill Collins,
Kristie Dotson, Barret Emerick, Veronica Ivy (publishing as Ra-
chel McKinnon), Quill R Kukla (publishing as Rebecca Kukla),
and Gaile Pohlhaus, Jr., along with Moira Kloster, Chris Campolo,
and other argument theorists already cited who contributed to the
intervening development of the discourse.
Most importantly, the discussion has shifted substantially to be-
come more intersectional, a direction needed for feminist progress
and that Gilbert (2007) argues informal logic needs. To describe
the work as intersectional means not just that it adds race and other
dimensions of social injustice to the feminist discussion, although
that has been badly needed. It means also that the discussions here
attend to how oppression manifests in specific ways depending on
how these social dimensions overlap and interlock: experiences of
sexism differ according to race, age, ability, and so on; stereotypes
vary, as do patterns of economic injustice, just to start. While the
papers in Reasoning for Change acknowledge their limited scope
covering certain forms of gender identity, they tend to focus on the
experiences and concerns belonging especially to young adult,
Western White women. The needed step forward is more diverse
and fully intersectional criticism and models, which you will find
here.
Previously (2018), Tempest Henning has pulled together the
underlying assumptions of a certain thread in the feminist work
leading up to and including Reasoning for Change that she identi-
fies as the non-adversarial feminist argumentation model
(NAFAM). This view treats an affiliative or community-oriented
model as the ideal for arguing, and Henning draws evidence of this
model’s operation from a variety of authors, most especially
Ayim’s approach to critical thinking but also work by Rooney and
by me. In the current volume, Henning begins to fulfil her previ-
ous demand for attention regarding how adversariality and aggres-

sion can be valuable aspects of argument, especially for African
American women’s speech communities (AAWSC). Yet, she adds
fuel to the fire set by Burrow and Hundleby to argumentation
theory’s tendency to assume politeness as a guiding norm, and she
observes fresh problems with argumentation theorists’ assump-
tions that only direct speech functions as argument.
As Henning’s concern is with the exclusion of African Ameri-
can women’s speech practices from recognition as functional
argument, so is Michael Baumtrog’s concern with the models of
reason used as standards to exclude youths from voting. In “Youth
Voting, Rational Competency, and Epistemic Injustice,” Baumtrog
examines this exclusion and finds it inconsistent and unsupported
by the standards of reasoning invoked. This suggests that youths—
at least up till the age of 16—may suffer a form of epistemic injus-
tice in being denied the vote.
A further challenge to what argument theorists have treated as
proper parts of good reasoning practices comes from Harmony
Peach’s “Picturing a Thousand Unspoken Words: Visual Argu-
ments and Controlling Force,” which picks up on recent develop-
ments in the theory of visual argument but with a particular appli-
cation to social justice issues. In light of how verbal modes of
reasoning tend to distort social justice messages, Peach recom-
mends that visual modes for arguing remain more in the control of
the arguer and thus can be less easily distorted because they are
more fully situated.
The volume continues to engage new developments in argu-
ment theory. The virtue theoretical model of argument taken up by
Tracy Bowell suggests that what makes for a good argument may
depend on the arguer’s personal qualities, a theoretical approach
that denies what have been blanket prohibitions against ad homi-
nem reasoning and that falls in line with feminist discussions of
this fallacy, including those mentioned above as emerging between
the two Informal Logic volumes.6 Bowell recognizes that virtue
argument theory has a strength in providing room for a specific
6 An excellent earlier but hard to find feminist piece on ad hominem is Marianne
Janack and John Adams’ (1999) “Feminist Epistemologies, Rhetorical Tradi-
tions and the Ad Hominem.”

type of meta-engagement that can help in addressing bigotry. This
offers no simple solution, however, because virtue theories can
also often demand too much of reasoners who are socially margin-
alized. Requirements to be tolerant and willing to trust may not
apply when they entail exposing oneself or one’s community to
harm.
Kathryn Phillips shares Bowell’s concerns that the demands of
virtue theory tend to press more heavily on people who are social-
ly marginalized. This, she suggests, makes it a non-ideal theory in
which theorists develop norms with a keen eye to the real obsta-
cles that people face. This holds too for her suggested extension of
virtue-based theories of argument, presented in “Deep Disagree-
ment as an Argumentative Virtue,” to include the virtue of pa-
tience because arguments tend to take place over an extended
period of time. Although, like other virtues, patience tends to be
required more of people on the social margins in a way that exac-
erbates the social injustices they live with, the solution for Phillips
lies in changing the argumentative environments.
This collection features new voices who address a broad range
of current political controversies: anti-Black racism, suffrage, how
to communicate injustice, the nature of public discourse, and what
appear to be deepening political divisions in industrialized democ-
racies. This engagement with the current political climate distin-
guishes it from the earlier collection, which was more retrospec-
tive and addressed problems in the discipline of philosophy. The
scope of the non-ideal orientation that implicitly marked the earlier
volume grows broader here.
These papers, being less defined by the experiences of academ-
ic philosophers or of the mostly White adults who constitute the
majority of Western philosophers, engage with multiple axes of
oppression. The work emerges from feminist considerations, but
gender no longer operates as the exclusive or central concern of
the questions or the analyses. We might call this “liberatory”
argument theory in order to better describe the results presented,
but insofar as the papers evolve by thinking from the perspective

of “other ‘Others’” and “doing argumentation theory as a femi-
nist,” it remains perfectly accurate to call them “feminist” too.7
In addressing the experiences of African American women,
youths, and those many different people whose social identities
make them subject to injustices beyond words, the papers here
forge new territory for feminist argument theory, and they do so
with a new interdisciplinary engagement. The empirical research
taken up in this volume is so broad that it cannot be systematically
characterized, except by the individual paper. It features strongly
in every contribution. I invite you to explore them and begin to
recognize the wide horizons opening up for the study of argument
and social justice.
Like Reasoning for Change, the current collection developed
out of conference work, this time a panel at the 2019 European
Conference on Argumentation in Gröningen. That such work has
become a significant part of international conferences on argument
offers a further sign of the emerging robustness of the discourse,
and this volume provides another landmark in the scholarship’s
development.
