Abstract
This article overviews some schemes for practical reasoning. It expresses them in terms of Toulmin's model of "practical logic". The schemes, though, are treated not as norms or (legal) procedures, but as cognitive mechanisms. It introduces the idea that metaphors are guarantees or argumentative licenses. A general purpose of this article is to introduce practical tools for assessing and for producing everyday claims and proposals.References
