This book uses different perspectives on argumentation to show how
we create arguments, test them, attack and defend them, and deploy
them effectively to justify beliefs and influence others. David
Zarefsky uses a range of contemporary examples to show how
arguments work and how they can be put together, beginning with
simple individual arguments, and proceeding to the construction and
analysis of complex cases incorporating different structures.
Special attention is given to evaluating evidence and reasoning,
the building blocks of argumentation. Zarefsky provides clear
guidelines and tests for different kinds of arguments, as well as
exercises that show student readers how to apply theories to
arguments in everyday and public life. His comprehensive and
integrated approach toward argumentation theory and practice will
help readers to become more adept at critically examining everyday
arguments as well as constructing arguments that will convince
others.
