A lesson in arguing

Wk13_Reasoning.pdf (application/pdf Object)
The above is a discussion of logic and reasoning. I am often mistified how two more or less reasonable people can arrive at such different conclusions starting with the same data. Slide 8 in the above discusses fallatious arguments and the basics of argument. It points out that it is necessary to formulate the premises the argument is based on. Assuming both paries are seeking truth, and not just to win, proper formulation of the argument will assist both parties in refining their arguments and will assist in winning future arguments.
