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.

I've since cut off ties with my family, who've made no substantial effort to patch things up with me or make amends or acknowledge wrongdoing. My "et tu brute?" dad I don't think really cares about any of this, and my mum has only (rarely) contacted me to ask for specific items she doesn't know the whereabouts of, or just to tell me that I'm not contacting her because I'm being overly negative and not remembering anything positive about the past. My brother did reach out and I shared our call-in with him, he did seem to take it in somewhat but either way, no real difference, and I haven't heard back from him at all in about six months.
As for my ex: I've apologised, made restitutions where I can, and she's living with her boyfriend of around 18 months. We're on decent terms but contact is ...
