Abstract

In abstract argumentation arguments are just points in a network of attacks: they do not hold premisses, conclusions or internal structure. So is there a meaningful way in which two arguments, belonging possibly to different attack graphs, can be said to be equivalent? The paper argues for a positive answer and, interfacing methods from modal logic, the theory of argument games and the equational approach to argumentation, puts forth and explores a formal theory of equivalence for abstract argumentation.
