Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

This is the sunk cost fallacy. As a side note to Bo if he reads this, there is an option in the tool bar to insert fallacy, when I've tried to use this on my phone I can select and preview but don't see any way to then finalise and insert it, so I have to just cancel out. |
