In Arguing with People, Michael A. Gilbert shows how recent
developments in the field of Argumentation Theory have bearing on
the arguments we encounter in everyday life. Research that had
previously been restricted to scholarly journals and monographs is
made accessible and, more importantly, useful to the reader.
Gilbert emphasises the value of understanding context,
understanding who you are arguing with and knowing how to use that
information to fruitfully settle disagreements. This book expands
the argumentative toolkit and shows how often-neglected skills such
as empathy and tone can be applied to the hurly-burly contexts of
real arguing. Interesting examples and sample dialogues are
provided to demonstrate tangible ways in which the book's lessons
can be applied. Partner exercises provide opportunities to
role-play and practise the interpersonal skills developed
throughout the book.
