How do you approach an essay or discussion question? How do you
review what claims others have made and offer counter-claims? And
how do you weigh up the strengths and weaknesses of your own
argument before putting together a persuasive conclusion? This
accessible book takes you step by step through the art of argument,
from thinking about what to write and how you might write it, to
how you may strengthen your claims, and how to come to a strong
conclusion. Engagingly written and featuring useful summaries at
the end of each chapter, this new book offers easily transferable
practical advice on assessing the arguments of others and putting
forward effective arguments of your own. The book's strength lies
in its clear guidance and the use of real-life arguments - both
contemporary and historical - and real-life essay questions from a
variety of disciplines across the humanities and social sciences.
These interesting, relevant, and often entertaining, examples are
used not to illustrate, but to make essential points about what can
be learnt, what techniques can be borrowed, and what pitfalls to
avoid in the area of analytical thinking and writing. The Oxford
Guide to Effective Argument and Critical Thinking is sure to
improve the written work of any student required to demonstrate the
key skills of critical writing and thinking. It is equally as
valuable for professionals needing these skills (e.g. journalists,
lawyers, researchers, politicians) as well as for anyone who has a
case to put forward and would like to do so convincingly.
