Synopsis

Thought 2 Talk is a crash course on argument, reasoning and logical method honoring the Swedish poet and Bishop of Lund, Esaias Tegnér, who once said: "The words and thoughts of men are born together: To speak obscurely is to think obscurely." In 100 humorous yet erudite pages, Thought2Talk takes the reader through key concepts like statement, argument, validity, fallacy, modality and demonstration.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Thought 2 Talk is funny, lucid and enlightening. It teaches basic logic using comical and actual quotes - and sharply warns against fallacies found every day in the media stream. Either you buy this bookimmediately OR you are a damned fool - or you should learn about the ad hominem fallacy.

From the Inside Flap

Finally something new in philosophy: A bold, powerful and systematic method for introducing students to the best current techniques in the discipline. At once ground-breaking and foundational, it replaces the tired old introduction with a beautifully realized and brilliantly executed delivery. Hendricks is a genius at integrating philosophy with the sciences and this wonderful little book should go a long way to restoring primacy of philosophy in the knowledge-seeking enterprise. Bravo!
