Description: In On the Origin of Species (1859), Charles Darwin put forward his theory of natural selection. Conventionally, Darwin's argument for this theory has been understood as based on an analogy with artificial selection. But there has been no consensus on how, exactly, this analogical argument is supposed to work - and some suspicion too that analogical arguments on the whole are embarrassingly weak. Drawing on new insights into the history of analogical argumentation from the ancient Greeks onward, as well as on in-depth studies of Darwin's public and private writings, this book offers an original perspective on Darwin's argument, restoring to view the intellectual traditions which Darwin took for granted in arguing as he did. From this perspective come new appreciations not only of Darwin's argument but of the metaphors based on it, the range of wider traditions the argument touched upon, and its legacies for science after the Origin.

  • Waterstones Why Argument Matters

    Price: £20.00

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Hailed by the New York Times as a book that 'examines the role that argument has played throughout history and how it has shaped human existence" 'An invigorating reflection on the nature and value of disagreement. Sharp and taut. A lesson in a well-constructed argument itself." | ?? Publishers Weekly, starred review 'Perhaps more than any other commentary, Why Argument Matters illuminates the root causes of our partisan, venomous, irrational times | ??and yet somehow rescues from the morass the true nature of argument, its power and beauty." | ?? Michael Wolff, author of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House From Eve's crafty exchange with the serpent, to Martin Luther King Jr.'s soaring, subtle ultimatums, to the throes of Twitter | ??argument's drainpipe | ??the human desire to prevail with words has been not just a moral but an existential compulsion. In this dazzling reformulation of argument, renowned critic Lee Siegel portrays the true art of argument as much deeper and far more embracing than mere quarrel, dispute, or debate. It is the supreme expression of humanity's longing for a better life, born of empathy and of care for the world and those who inhabit it. With wit, passion, and striking insights, Siegel plumbs the emotional and psychological sources of clashing words, weaving through his exploration the untold story of the role argument has played in societies throughout history. Each life, he maintains, is an argument for that particular way of living; every individual style of argument is also a case that is being made for that person's right to argue. Argument is at the heart of the human experience, and language, at its most liberated and expressive, inexorably bends toward argument.

  • Waterstones Turn Your Literature Review Into An Argument

    Price: £4.50

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Frequently students confuse literature reviews with summaries of existing research, and they can easily get overwhelmed by the amount of material they have to consider and filter as part of their review. Likewise, they don't often realize that a considered, planned, structured and balanced argument forms the bedrock of a successful research project. Outlining what a literature review is - and isn't - and showcasing how to use the literature to your advantage to construct a strong academic argument, this Little Quick Fix answers important questions like: - What is the purpose of a literature review?- How can I tell the difference between an argument and an academic argument?- What do I need to create my argument?- What do I need from an article to support my argument?- How do I create a counterargument?- How can I make sure I'm creating a strong argument and plausible counterargument?- How can I win my argument? Students need help over hurdles at every stage of their research project. They want simple, powerful, accessible tools that deliver results fast. They need to meet interim assessment deadlines and prove that they have successfully passed through multiple stages of their project, or need to master a stage of understanding in a learning cascade before they can proceed to the next week in their methods module. Their supervisors are increasingly unable to help, but will still be assessing results. Students need more than You Tube. Titles in the Little Quick Fix series offer: · Visual, design-led learning· Clear, structured, useful pedagogy· A hand-holding, step-by-step approach for students who are less able, or less academically prepared by school so far· Effective self-directed learning with DIY progress tracking· A stand-in for the busy/unavailable supervisor.
