I feel that this page has a heavy bias towards logical argument.
Should we also cover dialectical argument? - an argument between opposing viewpoints that can culminate in a synthesis of the two perspectives. Oliver Crow
Agree with the bias. But I thought it would be helpful to extend this notion of logical argument to include logical arguments in the sciences and in law. This may be somewhat unconventional, but could certainly be useful and practical. User: CSTAR

[edit] Where is ordinary argument...
...in the sense of a controversial discourse between two or more people? None of the given disambiguations covers the most obvious case. It's studied in Discourse analysis; I planned to link to it from the Discourse page, but nothing was there... ---- Charles Stewart 19:53, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Style cleanup
I did a major cleanup of this page to meet the Wikipedia manual of style (see MoS:DP). This meant removing all links to pages other than those which disambiguate this one, as well as removing duplicate links and excess verbage. I also linked to the definition on Wiktionary in the correct manner. I think I have accounted for all of the previous links, but feel free to edit/correct this page as needed. - Dmeranda 22:10, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Missing a good page for argument (to function)
There's a number of pages that are linking to argument when they mean "input variable to a function (mathematical)", but where the page Independent variable is not appropriate. Does someone with a flair for writing mathematical stuff want to write one up? See for instance Mole fraction. --Alvestrand 05:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Political argument
It says here "political argument, the use of logic rather than propaganda in promoting political ideas", shouldnt rhetoric be a more precise word rather than propaganda?
[edit] Disambiguation page doesn't actually list what the word Argument actually means
I can't find the page about agruing on this disambiguation page! It should redirect, the page just lists every possible thing with the word argument in it. Keshidragon 20:39, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
