Stephen Toulmin (1922–2009) was a British philosopher, logician, and communicator best known for his work in the field of argumentation theory. He is particularly renowned for developing the Toulmin Model of Argument, outlined in his seminal book, "The Uses of Argument" (1958). This model provides a framework for analyzing the structure of arguments, breaking them down into six key components: claim, grounds, warrant, backing, qualifier, and rebuttal.
