## Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss and compare two types of methods for reasoning with inconsistent belief bases : coherence-based approaches to non-monotonic entailment, based on the selection and management of consistent subbases, and argumentation systems, based on the construction and selection of arguments in favor of a conclusion. We present several argumentation systems, then we show that most of the associated inference relations can be also defined using wellknown principles for selecting consistent subbases. So we establish a formal correspondence between the so-called argumentation paradigm and recent work on non-monotonic entailment. Lastly, we propose several directions for further research concerning the integration of preference relations into argumentation systems.
