This book brings together a selection of essays by one of the
pre-eminent scholars of informal logic. Following an approach that
is empirical but not psychological; dialectical but not dialogical,
and focused on interpretation without neglecting evaluation,
Maurice Finocchiaro defines concepts such as reasoning, argument,
argument analysis, critical reasoning, methodological reflection,
judgment, critical thinking, and informal logic. He defends ideas
about the rarity of fallacies but frequently of fallacious
reasoning; the asymmetry of positive and negative in argumentation,
interpretation and evaluation and the role of critical thinking in
science, among other topics. Containing extended critiques of the
views of many contemporary scholars, he also integrates into the
discussion Arnauld's Post-Royal Logic, Gramsci's theory of
intellectuals, and case studies from the history of science,
particularly the work of Galileo, Newton, Huygens, and Lavoisier.
