Anyone have anything exciting to share about your creative efforts this week?

Last week I had an out of town houseguest and a big party so I got nothing done. My manuscript is at around 34k words and I’m shooting for 40k by the end of this week.

The journal _Argumentation_ has accepted “Reconceiving Argument Schemes as Descriptive and Practically Normative.” This thread summarizes our revision of work of #DouglasWalton et al. I argue here (and elsewhere) that #ArgumentSchemes are essential for making sense of #LegalArguments and #LegalReasoning. 1/6

I would love members of this instance to get to know each other’s work, so here’s a challenge: In a thread of 10 or < posts, summarize a recent piece of scholarship you have published (or are about to). Make the first post Public, then reply to it, with the replies Unlisted (thus we won’t clutter the Local timeline). Let’s read and boost each other! Use the #ShareYourWork hashtag. I’ve tried to give an example here: https://mastodon.lawprofs.org/@rhetoricked/109399159950109521 Let me know what you think.

#ShareYourWork Summary of my review of Catarina Dutilh Novaes’ (CDN) 2020 book, The Dialogical Roots of Deduction. In my view, the book is critical to understanding the role, if any, of #deduction and the #syllogism in #LegalReasoning and #LegalArgumentation. As the book’s subtitle suggests, it explores the #history, #CognitiveScience, and #philosophy of deduction. TL;dr in next entry of thread, links at the end. #ShareYouWork 1/10
