Walter Sinnott-Armstrong

Think Again

How to Reason and Argue

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using plentiful examples from politics, popular culture, and everyday life, Sinnott-Armstrong introduces the reader to topics such as: what defines an argument; the role that reasons play in arguments; the pieces that make up good arguments; what arguments can accomplish effectively; the difference between essential terms like deductive, inductive, and abductive in creating an argument; and how to spot fallacies in others' arguments. Armed with these tools, Sinnott-Armstrong wants readers to be able to spot bad reasoning and bad arguments, and to advance their own view in a forceful and logical way-with an eye toward effective resolution of disputes.

Rezensionen

It has never been more important to spread an understanding of how to reason than it is today. Think Again is a clear and readable guide to reasoning and argument, filled with relevant contemporary examples. I hope it will be widely read Peter Singer, author of Practical Ethics
