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.

The writer expresses one opinion, but there is evidence for other foundations for moral beliefs.
DeWaal argues that morality is biological. He is very persuasive (I've heard him speak). Link: www.emory.edu/EMORY_REPOR. . . Others hold that morality is founded in group membership. I don't see why that is automatically wrong. None of that means that morality can be rejected. The idea that morals must either be totally absolute or totally relative is a false dilemma, which is a classic fallacy. |

No Logical fallacy is present; this is merely an opinion.
