Practical Argumentation

Practical Argumentation, written by George K. Pattee in the early 20th century, is a comprehensive guide on the principles and techniques of effective argumentation. The book aims to demystify argumentation, presenting it as an essential skill applicable in everyday life and formal debates, rather than just an academic exercise. Pattee emphasizes the importance of balancing persuasion and conviction to engage audiences, while exploring how argumentation can uncover truth and resolve conflicts across various contexts.
