Summary of Walter Sinnott-Armstrong's Think Again - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 All of these problems require widespread cooperation to solve, but instead of working together, people tend to argue and fight with each other. #2 When people give up on understanding each other, they resort to willful misinterpretation and abuse. They will put words in each other's mouths in order to make their rivals look foolish. #3 We need to exchange reasons with our opponents, and we need to demand their reasons from them.
Without understanding each other, we cannot figure out how to compromise or cooperate with each other. #4 To work together, we must first understand what reasons and arguments are. They are not verbal fights, but constructive attempts to increase understanding. When someone presents one claim as a reason for another claim, that is an argument.
