Book: The Uses of Argument
Author: Stephen Edelston Toulmin
Pages: 262
Format: pdf
Language: English
ISBN10: 0521827485
Toulmin presents a highly utilitarian approach to the construction of real arguments for real people. This is not Copi's classic formal logic text. This is applied reasoning, as timely now as when authored. [A current standard body effort to establish reasoning templates for computer software assurance cases relies heavily on Toulmin.] No syllogisms, epicheiremes, sorites. Merely a rock solid easily understood and easily and effectively applied two-part six element structure for making arguments that optimize the case. Worth every penny. A true classic.
