Produktbeschreibung
Debating is an ancient art, but in today's fast-paced world, it often feels like a lost one. Politicians dodge questions, media interviewers lack depth, and meaningful discussions are replaced by soundbites. This book challenges the status quo, offering a refreshing take on the skills needed for engaging, effective, and truthful debates. Unlike dry, academic manuals, this book focuses on real-world conversations-the kind that happen in pubs, dinner parties, or on radio shows. With a clear and engaging style, it explores the principles of argumentation, the misuse of statistics, and the pitfalls of modern debate, while drawing on examples from science, philosophy, and everyday life. From the ancient Greeks to Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, it highlights how truth often emerges through resistance and persistence. Whether you're sparring with friends or dissecting political rhetoric, this book equips you with practical tools to elevate your discussions. It's not just about winning debates; it's about pursuing truth, sharpening your critical thinking, and making debates enjoyable again. For anyone passionate about ideas, eager to engage in meaningful conversation, or just tired of shallow arguments, this is your ultimate guide to debating smarter-and with purpose. "Winning the argument is so important in many aspects of life. This admirable book gives useful guidance to do so successfully, the more so since it is written from a scientific perspective. Whether the reader dips in and out or reads from beginning to end, doing so he or she will find it really worthwhile. It is likely to be helpful to all manner of professionals like lawyers, scientists, medics, politicians and all others who simply enjoy a good old-fashioned squabble.'' Ian Hunter KC, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London
