We live in a complex, rapidly changing, and information rich world; a world where ideas, opinions and facts, and the way we negotiate them, will determine the fate of our species. Argument and Critical Thinking is an introduction to the philosophical study of dialogue, reasoning and argument. It will teach you how to separate facts from opinions, science from nonsense, and sound reasoning from the many varieties of bullshit that assail us all daily. It will provide you with methods for analyzing and classifying arguments, and help you identify common errors in reasoning. And it will empower you to engage in constructive dialogue about some of the most politically charged issues of our times, such as climate change, and the status of facts in a `post-truth' world. |
