In this interview, we dive into Professor Christopher Tindale’s career, starting from his years as a doctoral student, passing through his work at the University of Trent until his invitation to join the Centre for Research in Reasoning, Argumentation and Rhetoric (CRRAR) at the University of Windsor, where he presently works. We talk about his experience in CRARR and his interaction with other important argumentation scholars, as well as the role the Centre plays nowadays in training argumentation scholars. Our focus, however, is on Professor Tindale’s work on argumentation theory. We discuss the history and the conception of some of his books, together with some of the most important ideas developed therein. In this process, readers will learn about Tindale’s perspective on Rhetoric, audiences, fallaciousness, critical thinking, and the anthropology of arguments. In doing so, we hope they will have a better grasp of the importance of Professor Tindale’s work in the argumentation field.
