Description
Excerpt from Argumentation and Debate This volume is the result of a complete re-writing of Argumentation and Debate as published by Laycock and Scales in 1904. It has seemed to me that the original text contained the clearest and most orderly explanation of the subject ever published. It was felt, however, that this text, in common with all other texts in argumentation, was not sufficiently thorough for college and university classes. A text which would go more deeply into the methods and precepts which argumentation has borrowed from logic, law, rhetoric, and oratory, has been greatly needed for some time. This volume is the result of an attempt to meet that need. How well this purpose has been accomplished you who read and use this book must judge This book has been prepared in the hope that it will serve as a text to be carefully studied, considered, and discussed by college and university classes in academic courses in argumentation and debate. Within this field the aim has been the broadest possible one. The purpose of the particular classes for which it has been written should be thoroughgoing intelligence in regard to argumentation and debate, not merely platform efficiency in this field. Platform efficiency is not to be decried, but it should come after and be based upon thoroughgoing intelligence, and should not, in academic class rooms, be made an independent end to the exclusion of this broader and more fundamental educational aim. Such being its purpose, this volume, is, of course, submitted as equally useful in classes working either in oral or in written argumentation or in both. The fundamental principles of argumentation are identical in both forms. Certain special adaptations for oral presentation are particularly considered in Part III, Debate.
