Understanding Arguments: An Introduction to Informal Logic

Many of our subscribers have asked whether we plan to do reviews.The answer is a qualified "yes."The qualifications are two.First, we propose that reviews should be expository rather than critical.The aim of our newsletter, at this point, is to provide information and act as a network through which to feed it.It is our opinion that expository reviews will serve this purpose better than would critical reviews.There may come a time when we shall add critical reviews, but we don't think we've reached that stage yet.Second, while we are willing to do our share, the editors have no intention of undertaking the task alone.We will start this feature off in this number, but we solicit support from our subscribers.If there is a text or book which you have read, please share your knowledge with us, using the format of the two expository reviews which follow.
