Many universities are now stressing these skills at an introductory level, and to meet the need, informal logic has begun to form and grow as a discipline in its own right. Like all subjects, it helps us to understand it if we can situate it in a context of historical development. This collection of essays provides the readings required to understand the development of a subject whose historical origins have been so far little studied. Many of the chapters are written by scholars in philosophy and speech communication who are themselves leading contributors to the subject, and their contemporary views throw light on how these earlier writers have influenced their thinking. This dimension gives an added interest to the essays, and indicates the way informal logic is currently evolving and seeking out its ancient historical origins. 410 0$aAvebury series in philosophy. 606 $aLogic$xHistory 615 0$aLogic$xHistory. 676 $a160 701 $aBrinton$b Alan$0965272 701 $aWalton$b Douglas N$0214601 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155028703321 996 $aHistorical foundations of informal logic$92190123 997 $aUNINA
