The Art of the Argument

Western Civilization's Last Stand

De: Stefan Molyneux

Narrado por: Stefan Molyneux

The Art of the Argument shocks the dying art of rational debate back to life, giving you the essential tools you need to fight the escalating sophistry, falsehoods, and vicious personal attacks that have displaced intelligent conversations throughout the world. At a time when we need reasonable and empirical discussions more desperately than ever, The Art of the Argument smashes through the brain-eating fogs of sophistry and mental manipulation, illuminating a path to benevolent power for all who wish to take it.

Civilization is defined by our willingness and ability to use words instead of fists - in the absence of reason, violence rules. The Art of the Argument gives you the intellectual ammunition - in one concentrated, entertaining and powerful package - to engage in truly productive, civilization-saving debates. Armed with this book, you will be empowered to speak truth to power, illuminate ignorance, shatter delusions, and expose the dangerous sophists within your own life, and around the world.

classic stefan

Molyneux is a bit rambly at times but he's always good for a listen. Good introduction to logic and its value.

Great example why liberals are idiots

The book is a little redundant in it's explanations however this to me is a psychological tool to reinforce it's educational purposes. He's an amazing philosopher and I've only ever seen him struggle with one person in an argument. It was a pompus ignorant liberal who just kept talking over him to drown out his very valid points. Liberals won't like it cause they got their heads so far up their own asses they won't comprehend the lessons as well as the concepts he's presenting. He does use liberalism as an example of how not to argue and shows their inability to debate or think. But that's to be expected since they are naturally emotion based and just plain morons.

The most essential argument for the argument

An well narrated clear important case for civillisation, virtue, personal happyness and peace

excellent beginning to learning how to reason.

if only everyone would read and re-read this and practice what is learned the world would quickly be a much better place. thanks Stefan for your efforts.

Enjoyed the book

Not a long book. Gets to the point of how to identify talking points and not be limited by overly emotional outburst.

best book i have listened to in a long while

Beautiful, brilliant, and captivating. Easy to understand and is a book to read again and again. Simply a necessity for personal use or home schooling.

Stefan is brilliant. Great to read or listen too.

Teaching how to think, not what to think!

Stefan Molyneux brings a passion and talent for logic reason and evidence. As well his skill in rhetoric and syllogism. Helping you to learn how to think, instead of what to think.

Best one yet.

My words will not play substitute for his. If you are are a truth seeker here is a roadmap.

Arm yourself with truth and value right now!

Where does The Art of the Argument rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Since Socrates, no philosopher has held humanity so close to his heart by going directly to the marketplace. Stefan Molyneux seeks with this capital work, not to tease and entertain your intellectual fancy but to arm you for the front lines of the conflict between good and evil. He has here outdone himself and made accessible everything anyone could need to make a difference for the better, for life.

enterformative

Entertaining and informative...not quite what I was thinking...I was looking for a different approach to The Socratic method...
