Learn how to win arguments and debates by using critical thinking, logic and recognising fallacies as soon as they arise.
This book has been designed to teach you how to debate on any topic by familiarising you with the ways of the logician, showing you how to recognise the numerous fallacies and get you to a point where you can self-analyse so that you are able to make the strongest irrefutable arguments. After a general introduction to logic we make our way through numerous areas such as:
We look at how fallacies are constructed in standard form and use worked examples to ensure everything is properly understood. We understand that learning to argue and debate from a book can be hard so we have prepared a series of YouTube video guides to illustrate points where we take real life examples from politics, the media, advertisements and religious discourse to show you how to deconstruct arguments.
The use of illogical and just bad arguments is widespread so we have created a series of videos linked to throughout the book that provide you with real life examples of poor debate tactics. We have examples from media interviews, debates between religious people and atheists, the use of fallacious tactics in adverts and numerous other examples. We focus on the practical applications of debate so the next time you get into one you'll be able to come out on top.
