OT - Argumentation Course on CD

I got a sales flyer offering The Teaching Company courses at sale prices. There was a favorable article on The Teaching Company courses in The Wall Street Journal some time ago, so I didn't just throw the flyer out. Instead, I bought their Argumentation course on CD, and have been listening to it for the last week or so. I'm probably 1/4 or 1.3 through the course.



While we certainly already practice argumentation on one another, I thought that a real course might be useful, unifying and organizing what has been learned in the crash and bang of experience. And I might learn a thing or two. After all, the Greeks have been at this for at least



2,000 years.

It is with some trepidation I report this to RCM, who need no encouragement, but anyway here is the URL:

Reasoning? That has nothing to do with arguing with the instrumentation.
