摘要

Classical Chinese argumentation theories were shaped by Chinese rhetorical traditions and played a crucial role in the evolvement of Chinese culture. This paper explores three key themes defining argumentation theories in the classical Chinese context and contrasts them with similar but different themes in Western argumentation traditions. The paper will draw implications for understanding the important role played by Chinese classical argumentation theories in the development of Chinese culture and how those theories contrast with theories of rhetoric, argumentation, and persuasion in the West.
