Written especially for beginners, this basic manual/workbook shows how to analyze and evaluate any passage of reasoning or argumentation as it actually occurs in natural language contexts e.g., books, articles, essays, speeches, editorials, conversations. This book presents a general method of natural logic by which the logical structure of any argument Scientific, philosophic, mathematical, political, religious, ethical, legal, inductive , deductive , modal, semantic, syntactic, evidentiary, etc. can be graphically represented without; employing traditional methods used in logic textbooks (e.g. truthtables, Venn diagrams, etc.). It shows how these techniques can be used to analyze a situation involving many pros and cons, and to identify the argument in discourse where the reasoning is obscure, complex or disorganized.
