Gerçek Argümanların Mantığı

Rate this book
Gerçek Argümanların Mantığı, argümanları çözümlemek ve değerlendirmek için kendine özgü bir yöntemi açıklamakta, köşe yazılarından klasik metinlere pek çok örnek ele almaktadır. Eleştirel düşünme, her ne kadar temel düzeyde mantık bilgisini gerektiriyor olsa da, bu kitapta, temel mantık eğitimindeki sembolleri ve mantık kurallarını atlayarak doğrudan eleştirel düşünme için gerekli araçlar, gerçek metinler üzerinde kullanılarak kavratılmaktadır.

Bu kitap, Galileo’dan Marx’a, Thomas Malthus’tan Charles Darwin’e, Dawkins’ten Mill’e insanlığın düşünce hayatına yön vermiş düşünürlerin temel metinleri üzerinden eleştirel düşünme yetimizi güçlendirmektedir. Düşünce tarihinin önemli metinlerinden özenle seçilmiş alıştırmalar bölümü sayesinde okur, kendisini sınama ve geliştirme şansını da yakalayacaktır.

Dahası, felsefe, hukuk ve sosyal bilimler gibi disiplinlerin dahil olduğu geniş bir yelpazedeki öğrenciler ve öğretmenleri için oldukça değerli bir kaynak olan bu kitapta, temel klasik biçimsel mantığın bazı temel fikirlerini özetleyen bir ek bölüm de bulunmaktadır. Kitap, bu yönüyle, ders kitabı olarak kullanılabileceği gibi aynı zamanda başucunuzda bulunması gereken temel bir başvuru kaynağıdır.

I like logic! Well, I teach logic. Maybe I don't actually like it, because this book was so tedious. It presents a method for assessing arguments (basically: find certain keywords, determine the structure, determine what would count as evidence for the premises) and then gives a smattering of different sample arguments, from Galileo to Hume to Wittgenstein. But about 50% of the book is reprints of the same arguments with little in-line notations marking up the structure. I'm sure there is a better way to convey that information!

Also, this author is very clearly British. Most of his initial examples are about British society, politics, and economics, which makes me laugh because I guess I'm so used to America-centric texts. The shoe's on the other foot, me! But also, he doesn’t use any commas with “and” and “but” and the sentences feel very robotic and run-on-y for it. Is this regional? Very interesting.

The spelling of “premiss” and the calling of every country “she/her” was similarly distracting for USA-me. But since there was no new content for me to be distracted from, it was fine! 😇

A very accessible introduction to informal logic and methods of analyzing arguments. The author offers an easy method for structuring, analyzing and evaluating arguments given in text through many examples.

I would recommend this book to everyone with an interest in evaluating and examine the justification of arguments from politicians, philosophers, scientists, journalists or whoever could be a source of information. Sometimes one would be surprised to see the hidden flaws in an apparently good argument.

With this being said it is by no means comprehensive but only seeks to give an idea of an applicable logic for everyday use.

Not particularly absorbing as a book (and indeed as a topic, I guess) - but I feel it could have been made easier to read. My neurons switched off half-way through, and I power-read the rest. Thus, I probably suck at both formulating a case for, and picking apart, an argument - so i'll just nod like the Churchill dog when one says "The Logic of Real Arguments was distinctly average"!
