 <\/p>\n

This is just the sort of\u00a0cultural activity that our profession needs to undertake much\u00a0more!
\n<\/span>– Johan van Benthem, <\/em><\/strong>Professor, University of Amsterdam, NL and Stanford\u00a0University, USA<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Apart\u00a0from the tone, the jokes and the pace, I think that what sets \u00a0Thought2Talk in a class of its own is the way logic is\u00a0introduced. Starting with distinctions among types of statements\u00a0and their truth-conditions makes logic more approachable.
\n<\/span>– Michel Paquette<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0Professor, University of Montreal, Canada<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Finally\u00a0something new in philosophy: A bold, powerful and systematic\u00a0method for introducing students to the best current techniques\u00a0in the discipline. At once ground-breaking and foundational, it\u00a0replaces the tired old introduction with a beautifully realized\u00a0and brilliantly executed delivery. Hendricks is a genius at\u00a0integrating philosophy with the sciences and this wonderful\u00a0little book should go a long way to restoring primacy of\u00a0philosophy in the knowledge-seeking enterprise. Bravo!
\n<\/span>– Daniel Kolak<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0Professor, William Paterson University of New Jersey, USA<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Thought2<\/sub>Talk\u00a0is funny, lucid and enlightening. It teaches basic logic using\u00a0comical and actual quotes – and sharply warns against fallacies\u00a0found every day in the media stream. Either you buy this\u00a0bookimmediately OR you are a damned fool – or you should learn\u00a0about the ad hominem fallacy.
\n– Frederik Stjernfelt<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0Professor, Learning Lab Denmark<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Very nice, and\u00a0very useful!
\n<\/span>– Achille Varzi,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Professor, Columbia University<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thought2Talk is a crash\u00a0course on argument, reasoning and logical method honoring the\u00a0Swedish poet and Bishop of Lund, Esaias Tegn\u00e9r, who once said:<\/p>\n

The words and thoughts of\u00a0men are born together: To speak obscurely is to think obscurely.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

In 100 humorous yet erudite\u00a0pages, Thought2Talk takes the reader through key concepts like\u00a0statement, argument, validity, fallacy, modality and\u00a0demonstration.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
