Description

Building Arguments by Drew Hinderer offers a fresh approach to informal logic, combining accessible style with rigorous systematic treatment. This book integrates reasoning and writing, teaching readers to argue effectively and communicate ideas in persuasive prose. It presents fundamental topics of critical thinking in a broader context, covering fallacy identification and avoidance, induction and deduction, and validity and soundness. The author uses entertaining examples and exercises from various fields, including sports, advertising, current events, and academia, to illustrate key concepts. By focusing on helping readers develop their own persuasive arguments as well as evaluating those of others, 'Building Arguments' provides a unique approach to argument analysis that promotes reasoning and writing skills across the curriculum.
