Reasoning Together Fallacies
Recommended in Program(s): Challenge B
Cycle(s): N/A
Format: Paperback
Pages: Approximately 230
This book trains students to be fallacy hunters who can track, categorize, and disarm classic informal fallacies. Written with a fun, playful tone and accompanied by delightful images, each of the fourteen chapters includes fallacy-hunting opportunities hidden within excerpts of classic myths, fables, and fairy tales from Ancient World Echoes, Old World Echoes, and New World Echoes.
Unlike most fill-in-the-blanks workbooks, this fallacy-hunting manual provides a sort of mental boot camp. Hunters will trek through helpful examples, discuss “On the Hunt” questions, explore the “Fallacy Hunter’s Field Guide,” and reference the handy “Fallacy Hunter’s Glossary.”
The practice of hunting informal fallacies will arm students’ minds against falling prey to encounters with common fallacies in the wild. They will practice resisting the temptation to follow misleading, slipshod, but persuasive arguments that appeal to emotion, character, and reason.
This study of informal fallacies not only provides mental exercise to sharpen the mind but also prepares the fallacy hunter for future formal logic studies.
