Description
The Uses of Argument by Stephen E. Toulmin This book challenges the traditional view of logic as a purely formal science, instead exploring its practical applications in everyday disputes. Toulmin examines the actual procedures used in different fields of argument, revealing a richer variety than is typically allowed for by formal systems. He argues that a more comparative approach, drawing on jurisprudence rather than mathematics, can provide a more nuanced understanding of rational procedures. Toulmin's work builds on his earlier books on ethics and the philosophy of science, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of logic and its role in philosophical inquiry. The result is a thought-provoking and illuminating exploration of the subject, written in clear and accessible language.
