9. Problems in argument analysis and evaluation

Author

Govier, Trudy, author, Windsor Studies in Argumentation, issuing body, and BCcampus, distributor

Subjects
Reasoning -- Textbooks, Logic -- Textbooks
Abstract

"This is the WSIA edition of Trudy's Govier's seminal volume, Problems in Argument Analysis and Evaluation. Originally published in 1987 by Foris Publications, this was a pioneering work that played a major role in establishing argumentation theory as a discipline. Today, it is as relevant to the field as when it first appeared, with discussions of questions and issues that remain central to the study of argument. It has defined the main approaches to many of those issues and guided the ways in which we might respond to them. From this foundation, it sets the stage for further investigations and emerging research. This is a second edition of the book that is corrected and updated by the author, with new prefaces to each chapter."--BC Campus website.

14. Teaching and Learning, Stories and Arguments

Author

Govier, Trudy

Abstract

This paper explains and illustrates a method of argumentative reconstruction that may be used in the teaching of stories. Without maintaining that argument is superior to narrative or that all narratives should be cast as arguments, I illustrate the benefits of this approach for critical thinking and the discussion that ensues when one seeks to articulate the message of a narrative and the reasons offered in the narrative to support it. The examples discussed here are parables.
