Abstract

In this paper we discuss contrastive explanations for formal argumentation – the question why one argument (the fact) can be accepted, whilst another argument (the foil) cannot be accepted. We show under which conditions contrastive explanations in abstract argumentation are meaningful, and how argumentation allows us to make implicit foils explicit.
