I would suggest purchasing an argumentative writing book. Maybe check with your local college to find out what they use in their argumentative writing class.

I also noticed that I had not heard any of those terms until I go involved in libertarianism.

Logical Arguments

One of the things that I’ve really enjoyed about mises.org since joining is exploring the way that some of you seem to recognize logical fallacies and point them out.

Terms like “Straw man” and “Argumentum ad verecundium” come to mind.

While I’ve already googled many of these terms, I was wondering if anyone could suggest some reading material on how these arguments are made, what they mean, etc.

Thanx a million!
