How to Make
Your Point
Reasoning, tested by doubt, is argumentation. We do it, hear it,
and judge it every day. We do it in our own minds, and we do
it with others. What is effective reasoning? And how can it be
done persuasively? These questions have been asked for thousands
of years—yet some of the best thinking on reasoning and
argumentation is very new and represents a break from the past.
