 In Relevance in Argumentation, author Douglas Walton presents a new method for critically evaluating arguments for relevance. This method enables a critic to judge whether a move can be said to be relevant or irrelevant, and is based on case studies of argumentation in which a criticism has been made that an argument, or part of an argument, is irrelevant. The method is laso based on a new theory of relevance that incorporates techniques of argumentation theory, logic and artificial intelligence.
