Description: Understanding Arguments : An Introduction to Informal Logic, Paperback by Sinnott-Armstrong, Walter; Fogelin, Robert J., ISBN 1285197399, ISBN-13 9781285197395, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This concise version of the text on informal logic explains how to analyze and evaluate arguments and distinguish good from bad ones. It uses an approach that emphasizes informal logic and how arguing is a linguistic activity (but includes two chapters on formal logic), focusing on its place within language, the words and phrases that are characteristic of arguments, how they function, and the purposes and uses of arguments. It covers language in general and in an argument, examples, deductive and inductive forms, and recognizing fallacies of vagueness, ambiguity, relevance, vacuity, and reputation. This edition has shortened and streamlined chapters and removes tangents and complexities that confuse students. It reorders different kinds of inductive arguments for better flow between topics, reorganizes some sections, and omits the more difficult and confusing topics. Examples, exercises, and discussion questions have been updated, and readings on areas of argumentation have been omitted. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
