About this title

Synopsis:

The focus of this text is on helping readers recognize when they construct or encounter a good or successful argument of a particular action or belief. This skill is reinforced on every page of the text, from the first three chapters that focus on the criteria for a good argument, through the four major chapters on the fallacies or ways that arguments can go wrong. The emphasis is more upon resolving issues than on pointing out flaws in arguments.
