Begging the Question: Circular Reasoning as a Tactic of Argumentation - Contributions in Philosophy
Douglas N. Walton
This book offers a new theory of begging the question as an informal fallacy, within a pragmatic framework of reasoned dialogue as a normative theory of critical argumentation. Walton analyzes the concept of burden of proof in argument, and provides chapters on the use of argument diagramming as a technique of argument reconstruction.
