THIS work has been written to supply a double want, namely, the combination of a purely elementary logic with the art of argumentative discourse. Nor has this last feature of the subject been added out of deference to a revival of an intellectual interest in collegiate debate, but it has been suggested both by the practical value of logic as mental discipline and its close connection with the proper and orderly discussion of all subjects in which educated men are expected to engage. Logic as a practical art may be made quite free from discussion of the theory of knowledge; and thus free from philosophic problems, may be made most serviceable in the field of clear and systematic thinking wherever a man is called upon to form and express his opinions. The author has long felt that formal and applied logic of the elementary kind can be taught as well in the earlier as in the later part of a collegiate course, so that the student can receive the benefit of it throughout his whole academic career. It is especially a subject which ought to follow closely upon mathematics. The value of this latter science lies in the habit of reasoning which it fosters, but it labors under one grave fault, if it is not supplemented by a knowledge of practical logic on other data, and this is the encouragement which it may unconsciously offer to over-confidence in the legitimacy of our reasoning in subjects where our propositions do not resemble those in mathematics. Mathematics is the most important science in which to begin our discipline in reasoning, because we are not complicated with all those modifications of meaning which the subjects of distribution and equivocation introduce into the process in other sciences. But it ought to be followed closely by logic in a long and careful application to practical examples that may contribute to general knowledge while they also effect mental discipline.For a somewhat similar reason I have connected it with one department of rhetoric, but only that which is concerned with the treatment of arguments. But I have not more than merely outlined this aspect of the subject, leaving to the instructor the development both of detailed rules and of practical work in themes. The outline and discussion of any thesis often depends upon a variety of circumstances for which only the most general rules can be given, and hence I have endeavored only to assist the teacher in saving time by giving the student the general principles in order to limit the amount of lecturing and dictation. The practical exercises will afford all the opportunity necessary for the special elucidation of principles.The work has also been written so that the part devoted to rhetoric can easily be omitted and the remainder used for purely elementary logic. The treatment of induction has been made very brief, as not being adapted to as easy mastery as deductive logic. But I have carefully outlined the subject of fallacies and methods of argumentation. It is hoped that the work may encourage an earlier study of logic than prevails in many institutions.

How to Win Every Argument by Madsen PirieSound reasoning is the basis of winning at argument. Logical fallacies undermine arguments. They are a source of enduring fascination, and have been studied for at least two-and-a-half millennia. Knowledge of them is useful, both to avoid those used inadvertently by others and even to use a few with intent to deceive. The fascination and the usefulness which they impart, however, should not be allowed to conceal the pleasure which identifying them can give. We take a very broad view of fallacies. Any trick of logic or lan-guage which allows a statement or a claim to be passed off as something it is not has an admission card to the enclosure reserved for fallacies. Very often it is the case that what appears to be a supporting argument for a particular contention does not support it at all. Sometimes it might be a deduction drawn from evidence which does not sustain it. Many of the fallacies are committed by people genuinely ignorant of logical reasoning, the nature of evidence, or what counts as relevant material. Others, however, might be com-mitted by persons bent on deception. If there is insufficient force behind the argument and the evidence, fallacies can add enough weight to carry them through. This book is intended as a practical guide for those who wish to win arguments. It also teaches how to perpetrate fallacies with mischief at heart and malice aforethought. We have described each fallacy, given examples of it, and shown why it is fallacious. After any points of general interest concerning the history or occur-rence of the fallacy, we have given the reader recommendations on how and where the fallacy may be used to deceive with max-imum effect. We have listed the fallacies alphabetically, although a full clas-sification into the five major types of fallacy may be found at the end of the book. It is well worth the reader's trouble to learn the Latin tags wherever possible. When an opponent is accused of perpetrating something with a Latin name it sounds as if he is suffering from a rare tropical disease. It has the added effect of making the accuser seem both erudite and authoritative. In the hands of the wrong person this is more of a weapon than a book, and it was written with that wrong person in mind. It will teach such a person how to argue effectively, even dis-honestly at times. In learning how to argue, and in the process of practising and polishing each fallacy, the user will learn how to identify it and will build up an immunity to it. A working knowledge of these fallacies provides a vocabulary for talking about politicians and media commentators. Replacing the vague suspicion of double-dealing will be the identification of the precise crimes against logic which have been committed. Knowledge of fallacies can thus provide a defensive as well as an offensive capability. Your ability to spot them coming will enable you to defend yourself against their use by others, and your own dexterity with them will enable you to be both suc-cessful and offensive, as you set about the all-important task of making arguments go your way.

We are pleased to release this digital edition of Ralph Johnson’s The Rise of Informal Logic as Volume 2 in the series Windsor Studies in Argumentation. This edition is a reprint of the previous Vale Press edition with some minor corrections. We have decided to make this the second volume in the series because it is such a compelling account of the formation of informal logic as a discipline, written by one of the founders of the field. The book includes essential chapters on the history and development of informal logic. Other chapters are key reflections on the theoretical issues raised by the attempt to understand informal argument. Many of the papers were previously published in important journals. A number of them were co-authored with J. Anthony Blair. Three of them have appeared only in the present book.

Arguing Well is a lucid introduction to the nature of good reasoning, how to test and construct successful arguments. It assumes no prior knowledge of logic or philosophy. The book includes an introduction to basic symbolic logic. Arguing Well introduces and explains: * The nature and importance of arguments * What to look for in deciding whether arguments succeed or fail * How to construct good arguments * How to make it more certain that we reason when we should The book is ideal for any student embarking on academic study where presenting arguments are what matters most; in fact, for all people who want to understand the nature and importance of good reasoning and awaken their ability to argue well.
