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.

Person 1: Wow, did you come up with that all by yourself? You are stupid, I'm amazed how some people think they are so smart but have no idea what's really going on in the world. You think you are so smart and you believe you are always right. You are a stupid douche bag. Just a rant, opinion, or unsupported claim.
Actually, person 1 did not do that. They said person 2 THINKS they are smart, but they are not.
This is a valid criticism.
They are right as well. Strawmen everywhere! |
