Think Again: How to Reason and Argue Sinnott-Armstrong Walter Paperback
Our personal and political worlds are rife with arguments and disagreements, some of them petty and vitriolic. Social media has produced a virulent world where extreme positions dominate. The inability to compromise and understand the opposition is epidemic today, from countries refusing to negotiate, to politicians pandering to their base.
How did this happen, and what might be done to address it? There is much demonization of the other side, very little progress is made, and the end result is further widening of positions. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong says there is such a thing as a "good" argument: Reasonable arguments can create more mutual understanding and respect, and even if neither party is convinced by the other, compromise is still possible.Think Again shows the importance of good arguments and reveals common misunderstandings.
