Good Arguments (Autumn Reading Group, session #2)

Dear Kingston Philosophers,

For our second meetup on Bo Seo’s book Good Arguments we will cover chapters 4 Rhetoric: How to Move People; Chapter 5 Quiet: How to Know When to Disagree; and Chapter 6: Self-Defense: How to Beat a Bully.

I will post a summary a few days before the meeting. Here are a few more videos on themes related to these chapters:

How to Structure an Argument

How dirty debaters win against better opponents
Ted-ed video on rhetoric

Cheers,
Colin
*** UPDATE: my summary of chapters 4-6 are available here:

PS- please be sure to bring a lawn chair, so we have flexibility to move positions if need be. Head towards the sheltered area by the bathrooms, we will be sitting by a tree behind that building.
