                       In this talk I discuss two relations between normative reasoning and
                       formal argumentation. First I consider formal argumentation as a kind
                       of normative reasoning. An attack of argument A on argument B is
                       interpreted either as “either A is not accepted or B should be accepted”
                       or as “A and B cannot both be accepted, and it is preferred to accept
                       A over B”. The difference between the two interpretations is analyzed
                       for higher order attack (where attacks can be attacked) and for con-
                       trary to duty argumentation (where arguments that should be rejected
                       are accepted). Second, I apply a theory of structured argumentation
                       to normative reasoning. In an ASPIC+ style setting, I discuss the def-
                       inition of argument, the role of constitutive and permissive norms, and
                       hierarchical normative systems.
