Additionally, I include perspectives from two Danish master thinkers, namely Grundtvig and his ideas about participation, equality and exchange, and Kierkegaard and his concept of the single individual, free and independent. Finally, the findings of the analysis will be discussed in relation to recent textbook studies within the subject of Danish as well as international studies on the teaching of argumentation pointing towards the need for a register of good exemplars of argumentation.
