Ask HN: How to Get Better at Arguing?
4 by divan | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I want to get better at rhetoric and argumentation, but I find it hard to find good books/videos/resources to learn it, let alone practice. I find valuable insights in the Artistothle or Schopenhauer books, which is both fascinating and frustrating, as I'm expecting more modern books to be on the subject. Another discovery is the books for argumentation for lawyers – seem to be a decent mix of philosophical depth and practicality. I had hoped to find good books from the debating community, but most recommendations are paper-only from the 80s/90s, or overly focused on competitive debates. This search for good resources on the fundamentals of argumentation seems to be quite a challenge. Perhaps I can find some good recommendations from the HN community.
