| Summary | "Practical Argumentation" by George K. Pattee is a guide on the principles and techniques of effective argumentation, written in the early 20th century. This text aims to demystify the study of argumentation, which is often perceived as merely academic or a preparatory step for legal studies. Pattee emphasizes that the book is crafted for both the student and teacher, striving to illustrate the practical applications and universal relevance of the art of argumentation in various aspects of life. The opening of "Practical Argumentation" establishes the author's intent to present argumentation not merely as an academic exercise but as an essential skill for influencing and navigating various forms of discourse. Pattee explores how argumentation serves to uncover truth and resolve conflicting beliefs through discussions in diverse settings—ranging from everyday interactions to formal debates. He outlines how the art is formed from elements of rhetoric and logic and highlights the significant distinction between persuasion and conviction, asserting that effective argumentation requires a balance of both to engage the audience intellectually and emotionally.
