Argumentation: The Study of Effective Reasoning, 2nd… di David Zarefsky

Langri_Tangpa_Centre | Aug 9, 2019 | A massive series of the art and science of arguments. It was almost as if the professor was scrapping and scraping for lecture topics (eg. "arguments among friends"). Many sections were a tad dry. Two stars for entertainment value; four stars for typical TC academic excellence.

Sandydog1 | 2 altre recensioni | Jul 9, 2013 | The Teaching Company Audio CD`s as well as Modern Scholar series are highly reccomended learning tools - College level courses that you can learn from in your car. This is part of the mixed media I use in my pursuit of knowledge. I love music and on the weekends my car primarily blasts music from XM - but during the week , the 45 min - 1 hour a day I spend in the car going to and from work and misc errands , I have these Audio Books that I get from libraries. Sometimes I get lazy with reading the non-fiction I am trying to consume. These courses make it so I am always thinking , always stimulating my mind. As soon as I hop in the car in the AM , I`m forced to use that most important muscle. This is the glue to my self-education.

kasualkafe | 2 altre recensioni | Feb 21, 2009 | I only had Part I, the first six cassettes, and I can't get the others at any library in the Rocky Mt. region.
The lectures were very interesting. For instance, I had always assumed that Lincoln was an abolitionist. Truth is that, although he didn't like slavery, he believed in colonization; i.e. he wanted the slaves sent back to Africa. He didn't believe that whites and blacks could coexist on an equal basis. And for the time being, he didn't believe in interfering with slavery in the states where it already existed. Of course, from the point of view of the time period he was living in, he was still very forward-thinking about this issue. We have to put things in perspective of the times.½
