Abstract

We formalize networks of authored arguments. These networks are then mapped to ASPIC+ theories that subsequently instantiate Extended Argumentation Frameworks. Evaluation of arguments in the latter determines the status of the arguments in the source networks. The methodology is illustrated through a collaboration between scholars of South Asian philosophy, logicians and formal argumentation theorists, analyzing excerpts of Sanskrit texts concerning a controversial normative debate within the philosophical school of Mīmāṃsā.
