He masterfully exposes the cheap sophistry of right-wing 'philosophy' and shows why there's still a place for logic and reason in political discourse. This is a crucial handbook for those who want to 'crush' and 'destroy' the Ben Shapiros of the world.'\u003c\/i\u003e Nathan Robinson, Editor, Current Affairs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany serious leftists have learned to distrust talk of logic and logical fallacies, associated with right-wing \"logicbros\".

In Give Them an Argument, Ben Burgis arms his reader with the essential knowledge of formal logic and informal fallacies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBen Burgis has a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Miami.
