Abstract
During the second half of 20th century, several movements, inside so much disciplinary areas (philosophy, Law) as interdisciplinary ones (discourse analysis, communication, etc.) have determined the rise and development of the studies on argumentation. Today this field of study presents itself as a new trivium of logic, dialectic and rhetoric, with new analytical possibilities in line for a subtle logic of the discursive pragmatics, and with encouraging challenges of theoretical settlement and of critical justification. It is, in any case, the logic that should be known for the cultured people and, especially, for all the students of philosophy. So I propose to implant in the philosophy curriculum this informal logic or «theory» of argumentation, not only due to the implication of the philosophizing in the practice of argumentation, and in order to integrate the studies of Logic and logical analysis in this philosophical frame, but also for a desirable projection of the theory of argumentation in the line of a civil logic, concerned with the shape and improvement of the public discourse -not so novel projection if there is remembered a tradition of our informal logic in Spain been interested in the uses of reason «so much as for the sciences, as for the practical affairs»- (P. Simon Abril, 1587).

Summary
En el curso de la segunda mitad del siglo xx diversos movimientos, dentro de ámbitos tanto disciplinarios (Filosofía, Derecho) como interdisciplinarios (análisis del discurso, ciencias de la comunicación, humanidades, etc.), han determinado el despegue y desarrollo de los estudios sobre la argumentación. Hoy este campo de estu~ dio se presenta como un nuevo trivium de lógica, dialéctica y retórica, con nuevas posibilidades analíticas, en la línea de una lógica sutil de la pragmática discursiva, y con incitantes retos de constitución teórica o de justificación crítica. Propongo introducir e implantar en los estudios de Filosofía esta lógica informal o «teoría» de la argumentación, no sólo por la implicación de la propia Filosofía en la práctica de la argumentación o por la necesidad de integrar y dar sentido a los estudios de Lógica y al análisis lógico en ese mismo marco filosófico, sino por la deseable proyección de la «teoría» de la argumentación en la línea de una lógica civil, pendiente de la índole y la calidad de los usos públicos del discurso común -proyección no tan novedosa si se recuerda una tradición
