On Reasoning and Argument
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-85184-6 (ISBN)
Among other things, the author:-develops an account of "material consequence" that permits evaluation of inferences without problematic postulation of unstated premises.-updates his recursive definition of argument that accommodates chaining and embedding of arguments and allows any type of illocutionary act to be a conclusion. -advances a general theory of relevance.-provides comprehensive frameworks for evaluating inferences in reasoning by analogy, means-end reasoning, and appeals to considerations or criteria.-argues that none of the forms of arguing ad hominem is a fallacy.-describes proven methods of teaching critical thinking effectively.
