Product Description
Product Description
A lucid introduction to the nature of good reasoning and how to test and construct good arguments. It assumes no prior knowledge of logic or philosophy. The book includes an accessible introduction to basic symbolic logic.
From the Author
To help people reason better
The aim is to enable people to reason better themselves and deal with arguments more effectively when they encounter them. And this is important because argument is the chief way of determining the truth. Without it we risk being unthinking slaves to whatever views happen to come our way. You know that argument is important when you reflect on how so many different entrenched institutions have tried so hard so often to stop it. I hope this handy book helps people to think for themselves.
