Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of argumentation, proposing that the study of principles should follow the practice rather than precede it. The author argues for an inductive method of learning, in which students first analyze arguments, then formulate rules. The text is rooted in psychology, considering the mental processes of argumentation. It offers a critical analysis of traditional deductive reasoning and emphasizes the importance of inductive argument from probable evidence. Furthermore, it stresses the significance of context, advocating that arguments be analyzed within their everyday contexts rather than abstractly. This book challenges the established norms of argumentation study and provides a fresh perspective on the subject, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars alike.
