This article tracks rather closely with the Logical Fallacies which, at least at one time, were taught as part of the Philosophy curriculum. These are available through a Google search if anyone is interested.
[This article tracks rather closely with the Logical Fallacies ]
I had never heard of the Fallacies so I just ran a Google search (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_fallacy). I suppose any systemic analysis would fall into that massive list as a subset, wouldn't it, as it seems to list all known forms of every logical representation (arguments, positions, strategies,etc.). Mastering that list would impart a kind of god-like knowledge wouldn't it? Has anyone ever been able to converse fluently in those terms?
