Farnsworth's Classical English Argument

Author: Ward Farnsworth

ISBN: 9781567927986

Binding: hardcover

Section: Philosophy/Rhetoric/Logic

The book’s concise chapters provide lessons in all aspects of give and take—the syllogism and the slippery slope, the argumentum ad hominem and reductio ad absurdum, the fallacy and the insult. Ward Farnsworth shows how the full range of such techniques can be used or repelled, and illustrates them with examples that are fascinating, instructive, and fun to read.
