Description

Walter Sinnott-Armstrong argues that there is such a thing as a "good" argument. Reasonable arguments can create more mutual understanding and respect, even if neither party is convinced by the other.

The author shows how common misunderstandings hinder constructive interaction with others. He explains what defines an argument, identifies components of good arguments, and demonstrates what they can accomplish.

With practical examples from politics, popular culture, and everyday life, Sinnott-Armstrong provides tools to spot bad reasoning and advance one's views in a forceful yet logical way.
