The Nature of Argument

by Karel Lambert

On This Page

Description

The authors contend that most contemporary logic textbooks fail the average student because they emphasize the evaluation of arguments over their clarification, assuming that the student already understands what motivations underlie logic. This text, first published in 1980 by Macmillan, provides the student with an understanding of what an argument is, how to spot one, and to help them eventually be able to clarify and evaluate it using informal reasoning.
