Ben Burgis Give Them an Argument

Annotation

Ben Burgis understands that in order to persuade people to join a political movement, you have to master the techniques of rigorous argumentation. He masterfully exposes the cheap sophistry of right-wing philosophy and shows why theres still a place for logic and reason in political discourse. This is a crucial handbook for those who want to crush and destroy the Ben Shapiros of the world. Nathan Robinson, Editor, Current AffairsMany serious leftists have learned to distrust talk of logic and logical fallacies, associated with right-wing logicbros. This is a serious mistake. Unlike the neoliberal technocrats, who can point to social problems and tell people trust us, the serious Left must learn how to argue and persuade. In Give Them an Argument, Ben Burgis arms his reader with the essential knowledge of formal logic and informal fallacies.
