This paper examines arguments that take counterconsiderations into account, and it does so from a dialogical point of view. According to my account, a counterconsideration is part of a critical reaction from a real or imagined opponent, and an arguer may take it into account in his argument in at least six fully responsive ways. Conductive arguments (or: pro and con arguments, balance of considerations arguments) will be characterized as one of these types. In this manner, the paper aims to show how conducive, and related kinds of argument can be understood dialogically. Résumé:On examine d'un point de vue dialogique les arguments qui tiennent compte de l'appui des objections d'un adversaire réel ou imaginaire. Un raisonneur peut en tenir compte de six façons, une desquelles sont les arguments conducteurs (ou : les arguments fondés sur le pour et contre, les arguments qui pèsent le fondement des positions opposées). De cette manière, on tente de montrer comment ce type d'argument et ceux qui y sont reliés peuvent être compris d'un point vue dialogique.
