A digital copy of "Argumentation and Critical Decision Making" by Richard Rieke. Download is immediately available upon purchase!

This book examines the general principles of argument and then applies those principles to different spheres of life-politics, science, law, etc.--to explore how conventions of argument change when applied to real world arenas. A new chapter on evidence and argument in religion adds additional sphere to this edition and expands cultural diversity coverage. Projects at the end of each chapter allow readers to become actively involved in the material by applying the principles learned to real life. The book also employs real life examples throughout to help make the concepts clearer and help readers see the relevance of argumentative skills to their lives. For anyone interested in improving their argumentation skills.

With clear explanations and abundant examples, this book explores the skills that active citizens and professionals need to make and evaluate arguments effectively in a wide range of real-life contexts. Drawing on classical and contemporary theory and principles, it explores the structure of arguments; relationships between reasons and conclusions; the criteria of evidence, validity, and definitional clarity; common types of arguments and fallacies; and adapting arguments to audiences. "Herrick offers a solid introduction to the basics of argumentation. The book works well on the theoretical and practical levels. Students who study it will become stronger at constructing and deconstructing arguments of all sorts. I also appreciate the discussion of civil discourse and the role of advocacy in society." (Samuel Mayer Nelson, Cornell University) "My favorite thing about this book is Herrick's accessible writing style and his ability to 'break down' difficult concepts so they are easily digestible. I also love Herrick's wide range of examples to clarify concepts and give richness to his analyses." (Abbie Syrek, University of Nebraska at Omaha) "This is a quality book. It is very clear, with obvious cues for students to follow with respect to definitions and key terms." (Michael L. Butterworth, Ohio University) "The text is concise yet thorough. I get very positive feedback from students." (Diana I. Bowen, University of Houston-Clear Lake) "This text has met my teaching purposes well. I especially like the author's use of examples to illustrate the concepts." (Douglas Fraleigh, California State University, Fresno) "The examples are phenomenal." (Ryan Louis, Ottawa University)

This book provides a systematic analysis of many common argumentation schemes and a compendium of 96 schemes. The study of these schemes, or forms of argument that capture stereotypical patterns of human reasoning, is at the core of argumentation research. Surveying all aspects of argumentation schemes from the ground up, the book takes the reader from the elementary exposition in the first chapter to the latest state of the art in the research efforts to formalize and classify the schemes, outlined in the last chapter. It provides a systematic and comprehensive account, with notation suitable for computational applications that increasingly make use of argumentation schemes.

Argumentation: The Art of Civil Advocacy teaches students the principles of argumentation as a practical way to engage in interpersonal and public deliberation. Authors Larry Underberg and Heather Norton offer a unique approach for creating civil discourse by encouraging students to consider how they argue with others to enhance or diminish opportunities for future dialogue. A variety of everyday examples are provided in the text to demonstrate how well-reasoned argumentation can strengthen communities and create productive citizenship. Students gain a better understanding for the situations, environments, and relationships that form the context for an advocate, and how those factors can influence discourse.

Featuring multidisciplinary and transcultural investigations, this volume showcases state-of-the-art scholarship about the impact of argumentation-based discourses and field-specific argumentation practices in a wide range of communities of practice belonging to the media, social, legal and political spheres. The investigations make use of integrative, wide-ranging theoretical perspectives and empirical research methodologies with a focus on argumentation strategies in real-life environments, both private and public, and in constantly growing virtual environments. This book brings together linguists, argumentation scholars, philosophers and communication specialists who convincingly show how interpersonal and/or intergroup interactions shape, challenge or change the argumentative practices of users, what argumentation skills and strategies become critical and consequential, how argumentative discourse contexts may stimulate or prevent critical reflection and debate, and what are the wider implications at personal, institutional and societal levels. Reaching beyond the boundaries of linguistics and argumentation sciences, this book should be a valuable resource for researchers as well as practitioners in the fields of pragmatic linguistics, argumentation studies, rhetoric, discourse analysis, political sciences and media studies.
