Resum

Argumentative discussions are commonly described in adversarial terms,but it is not obvious that argumentation is necessarily adversarial. Here I argue thatadversariality is not an essential element in argumentation and in fact it must beavoided because it discourages reasonable behaviour. Reasonableness, characterisedhere as willingness to modify one’s own beliefs in the light of good arguments,is jeopardised by adversarial goals. That gives us a reason to reject adversarialityin argumentation, since reasonableness contributes to some of the greatest goodsthat argumentation can provide
