Difficult question
Ok, can I say instead of
"I often hear the argument of dissuasion in debates of this sort."
"I often hear the argument of dissuasion in debates." if from the precedent sentence(s) we can infer of what sort of debates we are referring to?
I really appreciate your help.

wholegrainthe argument of dissuasionIt is not easy to assign meaning to this group of words.
But to answer your question:
No. You can't just drop "of this sort". Without it, you're just making a statement about debates in general -- not necessarily even the ones referred to in other sentences which precede this one.
