Unification of argumentation schemes and theories #117

Closed pallix closed 9 years ago

pallix commented 9 years ago

We used to have two theories per project, one for the argumentation schemes (e.g. Waltons) and one for the domain theory (like the licensing theory in MARKOS). But we decide to simplify this to use just one theory for both purposes. The developers of the theory can uses sections to but different kinds of rules in different sections if they want. And since theories are modular, the Walton schemes can still be in a separate theory and imported into the theory used by some project.
