4.0 out of 5 stars
Language could have been simplified, the "academese" was thick,
This review is from: A Systematic Theory of Argumentation: The pragma-dialectical approach (Paperback)
I think this is an great piece of work, and should be taken by someone and rewritten to be used to teach primary school kids how to communicate effectively. In fact, Douglas Walton does a great job of explaining these concepts in his book "Fundamentals of Critical Argumentation", which I recommend over this one. These concepts are being adapted by computer programmers to develop algorithms for computers to imitate dialog. The authors took concepts that I consider to be common sense, documented them and created an "ideal" procedure for carrying out discussions. This book is important because I think it has the potential to improve the quality of life for everyone because it teaches a procedure for communication that if learned early and used could dramatically reduce misunderstandings and effectively expose fallacies in reasoning. BRAVO!
beware though, it is DRY. |
