Learn how to reason with "The Art of the Argument"!
In "The Art of the Argument", Stefan Molyneux, a philosopher and host of Freedomain, presents a masterclass in the art of persuasive discourse. This book isn't just about winning debates; it's about understanding the deeper layers of logical reasoning, emotional intelligence, and ethical persuasion that can transform how we communicate and influence others.
Molyneux guides readers through the intricacies of constructing compelling arguments, dismantling fallacies, and navigating the often tumultuous waters of public and private debates. With sharp wit and profound insights, he explores:
-
The Anatomy of an Argument: Breaking down what makes an argument effective or futile.
-
Mastering the Socratic Method: How to ask the right questions to lead others to truth.
-
Emotional Intelligence in Debate: Understanding and leveraging emotions without losing logical ground.
-
Ethics of Argumentation: When to argue, when to walk away, and how to do both with integrity.
Whether you're a seasoned debater or someone who simply wants to express ideas more clearly and compellingly, "The Art of the Argument" equips you with the tools to engage in meaningful, impactful conversations. Prepare to rethink how you argue, persuade, and think.

Bad Philosophy Questions!
I’ve loved your work for years! Just wondering—since you haven’t done as many public debates lately, how do you keep your skills sharp? Do you still feel like you’re growing? Thank you
1. Where will you answer this question so I can hear a response if possible. 2. Can you go into the classic concept of akrasia eg "weakness of will" and how our understanding of that concept has evolved with access to the fields of neuroscience, psychoanalysis, etc. With a particular focus on the topic of free will and how perhaps it is or isn't an outmoded concept. 3. Thank u Stefan Molyneux
Dear Stef,
Why is there something rather than nothing?
additionally as a tangential question I will also ask so as not to present the first question in a biased framing:
Why would there be nothing rather than something?

NEW PREVIEW FOR SUPPORTERS - How to Debate a Feminist! CALL IN SHOW
Subscribers get early previews for shows!
Freedomain FLASH Live Chat 1 May 2025
In this episode, I examine the intricate relationship between motivation and daily responsibilities through a caller's experience of contrasting passion for hiking with aversion to essential tasks. We discuss how childhood influences shape our current attitudes towards chores and the emotional weight tied to them. By reframing these tasks as acts of self-care, I encourage listeners to reclaim agency and separate personal values from past grievances, fostering personal growth and motivation driven from within.
