However, few of us have been trained in logic so that we can quickly detect bad reasoning, attach names to fallacies we encounter, and articulately form our own reasoned arguments. By studying informal and formal logic, as well as rhetoric, students will gain and learn to apply these vital skills. The study of informal logic and the informal fallacies (everyday arguments gone wrong) will aid students in recognizing bad reasoning and identifying fallacies. Studying formal logic will also further train and hone students’ minds, enabling them to determine the form that arguments take. The study of rhetoric will teach students how to create, find, and arrange content in order to craft their own persuasive arguments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Classical Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50512313811187,"sku":"gjp1787311024585","price":20.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4135\/4995\/files\/the-argument-builder-teachers-edition_1.jpg?v=1787311031","url":"https:\/\/www.kaveraq.com\/products\/the-argument-builder-teachers-edition","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
