{"product_id":"the-place-of-emotion-in-douglas-walton-9780271008530","title":"The Place of Emotion in Argument","description":"\u003cp\u003eAppeals to emotion--pity, fear, popular sentiment, and \u003ci\u003ead hominem\u003c\/i\u003e attacks--are commonly used in argumentation. Instead of dismissing these appeals as fallacious wherever they occur, as many do, Walton urges that each use be judged on its merits. He distinguished three main categories of evaluation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, is it reasonable, even if not conclusive, as an argument? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond, is it weak and therefore open to critical questioning for argument? And third, is it fallacious? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third category is a strong charge that incurs a critical burden to back it up by citing evidence from the given text and context of dialogue. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalton uses fifty-six case studies to demonstrate that the problem of emotional fallacies is much subtler than has been previously believed. Ranging over commercial advertisements, political debates, union-management negotiations, and ethical disputes, the case studies reveal that these four types of appeals, while based on presumptive reasoning that are tentative and subject to default, are not always or necessarily fallacious types of argumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Walton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271008539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271008530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Douglas Walton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981527056639,"sku":"9780271008530","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42361a0c-dc9c-4768-964b-0864c0f2373c.jpg?v=1683256102","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-place-of-emotion-in-douglas-walton-9780271008530","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
