Argument

'Argument' is often used to mean heated and emotional exchanges. Argument, here, is just the opposite. Arguing with pure logic, or argumentation, is a fine art that has been refined over many centuries. One of the earliest and best was Aristotle, and the modern art of argument has developed from the Athenians onward.
