In this paper we show how a deliberative agent can represent beliefs and desires and perform defeasible reasoning in order to support its derived beliefs. Strict and defeasible filtering rules can be used by the agent for selecting among its desires a proper one that fits in the particular situation it is involved. Thus, defeasible argumentation will be used for reasoning about desires. Application examples from a robotic soccer domain will be given.
