academic argument
Intellectual debate point
An academic argument is a reasoned case for a position, supported by evidence and structured according to scholarly conventions.
Unlike everyday arguments, which often involve heated disagreement, academic arguments emphasize logical development, acknowledgment of counterarguments, and citation of sources: Her thesis presented a compelling academic argument for reconsidering the treaty's impact.
