Philosophy Logic

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.

Neste livro Schopenhauer apresenta 38 estratégias sobre a arte de vencer um oponente num debate, não importando os meios, utilizando a maior ferramenta que possuímos; a palavra. É possível recorrer a estes estratagemas, lícitos e ilícitos, para 'obter' razão, e defendê-la quando ela estiver do nosso lado ou conquistá-la quando estiver do lado do adversário. Com frieza classificatória, Schopenhauer indica 'os caminhos oblíquos e os truques de que se serve a natureza humana em geral para ocultar seus defeitos'.

---Not a prolegomena, a foundation.--- More descriptive than a manifesto, and deeply pioneering in its formality, this manual uses a diagrammatic method to express new theories and foundations in thought. In place of circular reasoning, it offers recursive proofs; in place of unsolvability, it offers exclusive contexts; in place of linguistic deconstruction, it offers categorical deductions. It includes over three-hundred pages of interrelated methods, arguments, and tools, using a predominantly visual method, which promise to assist the philosopher in making logical, ethical, and ...

Did you know that 93 percent of CEOs agree that this skill is more important than your college degree? Amazon's market cap is 1.7 trillion dollars.

It's critical thinking. This audiobook is dedicated to imparting to you the maxims of how to think critically.

Solve for Happy is a startlingly original book about creating and maintaining happiness, written by a top Google executive with an engineer's training and fondness for thoroughly analyzing a problem.

A thought-provoking exploration of how people really change their minds, and how persuasion is possible. In Stop Being Reasonable, Eleanor Gordon-Smith weaves a narrative that illustrates the limits of human reason.

Gordon-Smith shows how we can change the course of our own lives, and asks: What made someone change course?

Apart from those ideas which seem to be ours by natural heritage, most of our thoughts arise from observation, reading, reflection, social intercourse, and travel.
