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.

Begging the question (assuming it is not agreed that he lie about what was said).

It's a loaded question (pseudo-logical) fallacy because as it begs for an apology it assumes the person was lying. If s/he says yes it confirms
s/he was lying. If s/he says no it suggests s/he is an unapologetic liar. |
