Original Question
We all love this resource of fallacies / bad arguments, as a cheat sheet to help us make sense of the bad.
But what about a resource for the good/better/best types of arguments? Is there a book / resource you recommend most?
Answers
2I echo what Michael said about learning how to think rationally. This is foundation in which makes it possible to evaluate arguments. Fallacies (formal) cover the forms of arguments, but the critical thinking and reason is required to evaluate the content. I do suggest my books! See https://www.bobennett.com
Studying logical fallacies may be an invaluable resource for determining bad arguments, but the greater aspiration is to learn how to think rationally and logically.
Of course, it stands to reason that if one can identify an error in reasoning or logic one will not make the same mistake in one's own claims and arguments.
