Virtual Event: "How to Have Better Arguments"

 

Exchanging arguments – offering each other reasons to believe a particular claim or to act in a certain way – is how we think together. All too often however our arguments turn into quarrels and what should be a constructive exercise breaks down into acrimony and accusation. In the worst cases the ties of community are strained to breaking point. This talk identifies some of the most common ways in which arguments can go wrong and offers some techniques we can use to make them go better.

 

All are welcome to join the Federalist Party at 8 pm ET, Friday October 2, for a discussion with Dr. Peter Wicks of the Elm Institute on "How to Have Better Arguments".
