Download or read book What Is the Argument written by Maralee Harrell and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring philosophy through detailed argument analyses of texts by philosophers from Plato to Strawson using a novel and transparent method of analysis. The best way to introduce students to philosophy and philosophical discourse is to have them read and wrestle with original sources. This textbook explores philosophy through detailed argument analyses of texts by philosophers from Plato to Strawson. It presents a novel and transparent method of analysis that will teach students not only how to understand and evaluate philosophers' arguments but also how to construct such arguments themselves. Students will learn to read a text and discover what the philosopher thinks, why the philosopher thinks it, and whether the supporting argument is good. Students learn argument analysis through argument diagrams, with color-coding of the argument's various elements—conclusion, claims, and “indicator phrases.” (An online “mini-course” in argument diagramming and argument diagramming software are both freely available online.) Each chapter ends with exercises and reading questions. After a general introduction to philosophy and logic and an explanation of argument analysis, the book presents selections from primary sources, arranged by topics that correspond to contemporary debates, with detailed analysis and evaluation. These topics include philosophy of religion, epistemology, theory of mind, free will and determinism, and ethics; authors include Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Ryle, Fodor, Dennett, Searle, and others. What Is the Argument? not only introduces students to great philosophical thinkers, it also teaches them the essential skill of critical thinking.

Download or read book The Champions written by Eldot and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it." - Celia, As You Like It, Act II scene iv Camp Walker is like the idyllic Forest of Arden--a place away, where the characters can focus on essential matters of the heart while they play. They discover who they are and what they need; they are enabled to return to the regular world with problems solved, lessons learned, and skills readied for facing the challenges of life. the Champions is the last part in the five book Scrapbook series. It explores the world through the eyes of a young gay boy. His needs and desires are looked at honestly, with a sense of humor--and without debilitating present day prejudice at the controls. Julian has established himself as a leader and gained the respect that he has sought for so long. He discovers that it is wise to go slowly. Unknown to him, his experienced competition stumbles in haste, and fails; he comes closer to achieving his original objective than either he--or Mark--realize. Surrounded by hundreds of scouts, all working to get ahead, Julian finds a way to shine. His artistic ability grows by leaps. His insight into human nature makes his friendship valuable and helpful to others. Story lines begun earlier are resolved, along with a few late developments. These last three days at camp are even more fun. the busload of boys returns home with much achieved; two weeks of hard work has been full of fun and discovery. Are there no "lived happily thereafter" endings in a gay boy's coming of age story? of course there are. They're just kept secret. Otherwise, the happy part gets destroyed. That's the way it is in real life. Real life stories carry baggage--questions about factual detail tend to upstage and distract the reader. Key story and thematic elements often get lost. If the story contains intimacies, scandalmongers cluster and buzz about like fruit flies, and the important issues get drowned out by the din. These negative forces have been pushed aside for this telling of the story. Julian's Private Scrapbook employs the fiction writer's toolkit in place of documentary literalness. "Charming and humorous, the novel successfully ends the series... told from a gay perspective, this is a wonderful look at boys transitioning between childhood and adulthood." --BlueInk Review Troop Nine Victorious Six first places and the relay!
