The latest edition of Informal Logic is now available. Contributing authors to this volume include Lilian Bermejo-Luque , Louise Cummings , Christoph Lumer, Michael Gary Duncan, David Botting and Ben Hamby. While there are, as usual, several very interesting articles, of particular interest to readers of RAIL will be Cristián Santibáñez Yáñez’s thorough and well-researched critical notice of the forthcoming book-length treatment of Mercier and Sperber’s argument theory of reasoning. The arrival of this book will undoubtedly be one of the highest-impact events of recent years on argumentation studies. If you’ve not become acquainted with it yet, this critical notice is a good place to start. (The archives here at RAIL aren’t bad either!)

The journal THEORIA has just published its 72nd issue with a symposium on Lilian Bermejo-Luque’s, Giving Reasons (Springer, 2011. Argumentation Series). The discussants are John Biro, Harvey Siegel, James B. Freeman, David Hitchcock, Robert C. Pinto and Luis Vega.
In Giving Reasons, Bermejo-Luque attempts to set out and defend an original approach to argumentation theory that hinges on what she calls “argumentation as a second order speech-act complex”. The discussion that emerges between Bermejo-Luque and her distinguished panel of respondents about this approach to argumentation theory is an interesting one.
