Description

  A key to success in discerning fallacies is first understanding each fallacy’s definition—and there is a plethora. Memorizing the mammoth number of definitions—much less keeping them distinct from each other in our brains—can pose a problem. These 55 dual-sided cards, divided into 4 suits, cover the terms (including 28 fallacies) taught in The Art of Argument course. First come the 3 wild cards (each defining either fallacy, argument, or logic). Cards are divided into 4 suits of 13 cards each. Each card contains the fallacy term on one side and the definition on the opposite (as one would suppose flashcards would do). However, the publishers have added a multi-function aspect to use this deck as you would for any standard card game. The hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs have been replaced with the symbols of 4 virtues. The ancients believed there were 4 cardinal virtues: prudence (owl); justice (scales); courage/fortitude (lion); and temperance (an ancient urn). If you want to add an extra logic component, insist that a player must provide a correct definition for a card they’ll play or lose their turn. Follow the included QR code to play an additional fallacy card game. ~ Ruth

Publisher's Description of Art of Argument Flashcards
The Art of Argument Flashcards, supplemental materials aligned with the revised edition of the student text, will aid students in the memorization and further comprehension of the logical fallacies. Turn study time into a game to gain familiarity and ease with the subject material!

Laced with humor and practical applications, Classical Academic Press strives to make logic accessible. And succeeds, too! The series has more background material than other logic books plus lots of "modern" examples. Making great use of dialogues and cartoons, there are some practice exercises but the emphasis is more on the "meat" of the text rather than on doing exercises. This sets them apart from other logic courses and makes them the perfect choice for students who want or need background information more than practice. This series is user-friendly and requires very little prep on the teacher's part although teacher-student interaction is necessary to maximize the learning. Art of Argument would be the starting place for a Jr. High student followed by Argument Builder and/or Discovery of Deduction, which can stand alone or be used together.

Each Student Text is designed to be worked in with the student thinking through and writing out responses to the material being presented. Teacher Editions are predominantly full-text answer keys but often include teacher's notes (a list of suggestions and recommendations for teaching the course) as well as ideas for supplementing and enriching the study. ~ Janice

Category Description for Art Of Argument

Socrates is the "go to" person when it comes to fallacies (occurrence of bad or incorrect reasoning) and his perspective on the three basic categories - fallacies of irrelevance (points that don't relate to the issue), of presumption (assumptions that are not justified or necessary), and of clarity (language that confuses and muddies) - is sought via time-travel. Several examples of each are provided plus the student has the opportunity to identify fallacies in cleverly fabricated magazine advertisements. Fallacies are printed on the inside covers of the Student Text for easy reference. Both Student and TE (each about 230 pgs, pb) have appendices that include a play and a short story that illustrate fallacies as well as a Glossary and Bibliography. TE includes reproducible chapter, unit, and final exams (with answer key). DVDs include 28 sessions (one for each fallacy) in which three teachers and 4 students present, define, discuss and explain the fallacy. As in the text, the DVDs emphasize a practical application to the student's life through advertisements, political speeches, and various moral/ethical debates.
