课程名称：重新思考 I：如何理解论证 概述：本课程将教您如何理解什么是论证。您将学习论证的定义，这将帮助您识别演讲者何时在提出论证，何时没有。接下来，您将学习如何将论证拆解为其基本部分，如何将其按顺序排列以显示其相互关系，以及如何通过补充隐含前提来填补论证中的空白。完成本课程后，您将更能够理解和欣赏自己和他人提出的论证。 推荐阅读：希望获得更详细解释或额外练习的学生，建议查阅Walter Sinnott-Armstrong和Robert Fogelin的《理解论证：非正式逻辑导论，第九版，简明版》，第1-5章。 课程格式：每周将分为多个视频段，您可以单独或分组观看。每个视频段后将有简短的未评分测验（以检查理解），课程结束时会有较长的评分测验。 课程大纲： 1. 欢迎介绍 - 本部分欢迎您加入我们的逻辑与批判性思维讲座系列，澄清一些您在本课程中可能会发现的特殊性。 2. 如何识别论证 - 本模块将教您如何区分论证与滥用，定义论证并区分其多种目的，介绍构成论证的语言材料。 3. 如何解开论证 - 重点关注论证表述中的特殊语言，识别特定词汇并将论证分解为部分，分析其运作。 4. 如何重建论证 - 帮助您以标准形式组织论证部分，清晰化前提和结论，评估其有效性与合理性。 5. 复习与最终测验 - 提供复习和补课的机会，允许您多次参加最终测验，以便深化学习。 通过本课程，您将掌握分析和评估论证的技能，避免常见的推理错误，这些技能对您在生活的各个领域做出信念和决策极为重要。
Name:Welcome to the Specialization
Description:Welcome to our specialization Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking based on our Coursera course Think Again: How to Reason and Argue. This course-Think Again: How to Understand Arguments - is the first in a series of four courses. We are excited that you are taking this course, and we hope that you will stick around for all four courses in the series, because there is a great deal of important material to learn. In the series as a whole, you will learn how to analyze and evaluate arguments and how to avoid common mistakes in reasoning. These important skills will be useful to you in deciding what to believe and what to do in all areas of your life. We will also have plenty of fun. The first part of this course introduces the specialization and the course. It also clarifies some peculiarities you may find with this course. We encourage you to watch the "Introduction to the Specialization" video first as it will help you learn more from the materials that come later.
Name:How to Spot an Argument
Description:In this module's material we will teach you how to identify arguments as opposed to abuse . We will define what an argument is, distinguish various purposes for which arguments are given (including persuasion, justification, and explanation), and discuss the material out of which arguments are made (language). The last three lectures this module are optional, but they are recommended for advanced students. LEARNING OUTCOMES: By the end of this module's material, you will be able to :define what an argument ispull arguments out of larger texts distinguish various purposes of arguments. OPTIONAL READING: If you want more examples or more detailed discussions of these topics, we recommend Understanding Arguments, Ninth Edition, Chapters 1-2.
Name:How to Untangle an Argument
Description:This module's material will focus on the special language in which arguments are formulated. We will investigate the functions of particular words, including premise and conclusion markers plus assuring, guarding, discounting, and evaluative terms. Identifying these words will enable students to separate arguments from the irrelevant verbiage that surrounds it and then to break the argument into parts and to identify what each part of an argument is doing. The lectures end with a detailed example that uses these tools to closely analyze an op-ed from a newspaper. LEARNING OUTCOMES: By the end of this module's material, you will be able to: understand three levels of meaning. identify argument markers OPTIONAL READING: If you want more examples or more detailed discussions of these topics, we recommend Understanding Arguments, Ninth Edition, Chapters 3-4.
Name:How to Reconstruct an Argument
Description:This module's material will teach you how to organize the parts of an argument in order to show how they fit into a structure of reasoning. The goal is to make the argument look as good as possible so that you can learn from it. We work through the main steps of reconstruction, including putting the premises and conclusion into a standard form, clarifying the premises and breaking them into parts, arranging the argument into stages or sub-arguments, adding suppressed premises where needed to make the argument valid, and assessing the argument for soundness. The lectures begin by defining the crucial notions of validity, soundness, and standard form. You will also learn to diagram alternative argument structures, including linear, branching, and joint structures. LEARNING OUTCOMES: By the end of this module's material, you will be able to: label assuring, guarding, discounting, and evaluative terms determine whether an argument is valid or sound complete arguments by adding suppressed premises reconstruct arguments by and series of arguments, and classify argument structures. OPTIONAL READING: If you want more examples or more detailed discussions of these topics, we recommend Understanding Arguments, Ninth Edition, Chapter 5.
Name:Catch-Up and Final Quiz
Description:This module gives you time to catch up and review, because we realize that the previous module's include a great deal of challenging material. It will also be provide enough time to take the final quiz as often as you want, with different questions each time. We explain the answers in each exam so that you can learn more and do better when you try the exam again. You may take the quiz as many times as you want in order to learn more and do better, with different questions each time. You will be able to retake the quiz three times every eight hours. You might not need to take more than one version of the exam if you do well enough on your first try. That is up to you. However many versions you take, we hope that all of the exams will provide additional learning experiences.
In this course, you will learn what an argument is. The definition of argument will enable you to identify when speakers are giving arguments and when they are not. Next, you will learn how to break an argument into its essential parts, how to put them in order to reveal their connections, and how to fill in gaps in an argument by adding suppressed premises. By the end of this course, you will be better able to understand and appreciate arguments that you and other people present. Suggested Readings: Students who want more detailed explanations or additional exercises or who want to explore these topics in more depth should consult Understanding Arguments: An Introduction to Informal Logic, Ninth Edition, Concise, Chapters 1-5, by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and Robert Fogelin. Course Format: Each week will be divided into multiple video segments that can be viewed separately or in groups. There will be short ungraded quizzes after each segment (to check comprehension) and a longer graded quiz at the end of the course.
