So, the title appealed to me. However, I had second thoughts and chose instead a title of one of my own essays, \"In Defense of Informal Logic\", which emphasizes my support for other approaches. Although my criticisms of logical theory are designed to cut deeply, I do not want to be unresponsive to the needs that it is supposed to satisfy. However, my position that we have adequate resources for critically analyzing a particular argument and 00 not need a theory of argumentation, will not completely satisfy those who think that there is a need for it. So, I want them to know that I am taking their concerns seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048153886\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048153886\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1850-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 224\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359212105868,"sku":"9789048153886","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048153886_3cf06580-8a96-4b84-b702-58b1fc802d50.jpg?v=1755105376","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048153886","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
