Arguing at Play in the Fields of the Lord; or, Abducting Charles Peirce’s Rhetorical Theory in “A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God”

Matthew J. Newcomb

Abstract

This article argues that the ideas of “play” and “abduction” in Charles Peirce’s work represent an inventive theory of argument that opens up the kinds of activities that can be called “arguments” and avoids some of the struggles over imposed beliefs with which recent argument theory has grappled.
