A Rulebook for Arguments (Fourth Edition) | Anthony Weston
2 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
"A Rulebook for Arguments" is a succinct introduction to the art of writing and assessing arguments, organised around specific rules, each illustrated and explained soundly but briefly. This widely popular primer -- translated into eight languages - remains the first choice in all disciplines for writers who seek straightforward guidance about how to assess arguments and how to cogently construct them. This 4th edition offers a revamped and more tightly focused approach to extended arguments, a new chapter on oral arguments, and updated examples and topics throughout.

2016, Book 44 "Argument is essential, in the first place, because it is a way of finding out which views are better than others. Not all views are equal. Some conclusions can be supported by good reasons. Others have much weaker support. But often, we don't know which are which. We need to give arguments for different conclusions and then assess those arguments to see how strong they are."

Saw a guy in the elevator holding a big bag of groceries and with this book. It instantly attracted my attention and tickled my curiosity of wanting to talk and get to know him...

Vivlio_Gnosi This is a great handbook to help you review intelligent argument principles and reminders in critical thinking. 8y
