About this listen

The Art of the Argument shocks the dying art of rational debate back to life, giving you the essential tools you need to fight the escalating sophistry, falsehoods, and vicious personal attacks that have displaced intelligent conversations throughout the world. At a time when we need reasonable and empirical discussions more desperately than ever, The Art of the Argument smashes through the brain-eating fogs of sophistry and mental manipulation, illuminating a path to benevolent power for all who wish to take it.

Civilization is defined by our willingness and ability to use words instead of fists - in the absence of reason, violence rules. The Art of the Argument gives you the intellectual ammunition - in one concentrated, entertaining and powerful package - to engage in truly productive, civilization-saving debates. Armed with this book, you will be empowered to speak truth to power, illuminate ignorance, shatter delusions, and expose the dangerous sophists within your own life, and around the world.

This is about the argument as a furtherance is politics and philosophy, it’s impact on society, and the importance of good arguments. Lots of examples of logical reasoning. Not so many practical tips for being a good debater but still a good read.

Poor marketing but still good book

Very well made points highlighting the importance of philosophical argument in fighting sophistry in society.

The author/narrator’s style of speaking is a bit hard to get used to as his use of pauses is somewhat odd.

Overall though I enjoyed this book, and hopefully I can use its lessons to improve my own ability to use ‘the argument’ not to beat my opponent but to find truth.

Reading performance somewhat disjointed rhythm.

A great audible gift for anyone who looks at the media and wonders why, or how do we fix this.

A great reflection on how to obtain logical honesty through the argument. A well thought out work that sets up it's premise masterfully and equips the reader with the tools to follow through.

Introspection into the argument of truth & reason

Concise speech, easy to digest information and much learning potential for anyone desiring to learn how to put their ideas into the large, unforgiving, peer reviewing world.

Interesting, gripping and a comprehensive guide.

Sweeping generalizations, hypocrisy and smug arrogance. This author had a clear agenda and a strong personal bias. I was looking forward to listening to a fascinating area of discussion. It could have been good - instead it was intolerable.

Truly Awful
