Zusammenfassung:	"Argument is the primary way of discovering the truth and thinking freely for ourselves. But just knowing how to reason well is not enough to ensure that we do so because often factors seduce us away from reasoning well or at all. Arguing Well is a lucid introduction to the nature of good reasoning, how to test and construct good arguments. It assumes no prior knowledge of logic or philosophy. The book includes an accessible introduction to basic symbolic logic." "The book is ideal for any student embarking on academic study where arguments are what matter, in fact for all people who want to understand the nature and importance of good reasoning and awaken their ability to argue well."--BOOK JACKET.
