Abstract:

Inspired by Marcelo Dascal’s theory of controversies, this volume includes
studies in the theory of controversies, studies of the history of controversy
forms and their evolution, and case-studies of particular historical and
current controversies.

The purpose of this volume is to identify a taxonomy of controversies and also
to sense a line of development for the phenomenon of controversies itself.

At the same time, we want to ask ourselves about the impact and the spread of
controversies in the contemporary world, eminently intended as a heuristic
element facilitating knowledge.

For all these reasons, the fundamental aim of the volume is to provide the
reader with a selection of current theoretical and practical perspectives on
controversies, and to offer a broad picture of the complex range of
definitions, meanings and practices connected to them.
