In just the last twenty years there has arisen a strong interest,
especially among teachers of logic at the universities, in teaching
techniques of applied logical reasoning and critical thinking. Many
universities are now stressing these skills at an introductory
level, and to meet the need, informal logic has begun to form and
grow as a discipline in its own right. Like all subjects, it helps
us to understand it if we can situate it in a context of historical
development. This collection of essays provides the readings
required to understand the development of a subject whose
historical origins have been so far little studied. Many of the
chapters are written by scholars in philosophy and speech
communication who are themselves leading contributors to the
subject, and their contemporary views throw light on how these
earlier writers have influenced their thinking. This dimension
gives an added interest to the essays, and indicates the way
informal logic is currently evolving and seeking out its ancient
historical origins.
