Arguments about Arguments: Systematic, Critical, and Historical Essays In Logical Theory

Maurice A. Finocchiaro

doi:10.1017/CBO9780511527517

Following an approach that is empirical but not psychological, and dialectical but not dialogical, in this book Maurice Finocchiaro defines concepts such as reasoning, argument, argument analysis, critical reasoning, methodological reflection, judgment, critical thinking, and informal logic. Including extended critiques of the views of many contemporary scholars, he also integrates into the discussion Arnauld's Port-Royal Logic, Gramsci's theory of intellectuals, and case studies from the history of science, particularly the work of Galileo, Newton, Huygens, and Lavoisier.

"It is an illuminating examination of the argumentation employed by not only one of science's great figures but also one of its great writers."
Thomas M. Lessl, Argumentation and Advocacy
