Grey Behaviors after Logical Fallacies in Public and Professional Communication
Autor Homayoon Kord, George C. Thornton IIIen Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 mai 2021
The book examines 20 wide-ranging logical fallacies, cognitive errors, and rhetorical devices that may take place in persuasive communication, and discusses how to assess and respond the behavior of a speaker who may be disingenuously attempting to manipulate the listener—or who may simply be mistaken. Drawing upon research and insights from communication, psychology, business management, and human resources, it considers fallacies in reasoning not just as abstract formulas, but as a feature of communication encounters such as negotiations, interviews, public debates, and personal conversations. Each form of fallacious reasoning is exemplified by dialogues in both professional settings (such as interviewing and personnel assessment), as well as everyday interactions in public discourse. The book then provides self-assessment tests to ensure the reader can evaluate the grey behavior in these encounters.
This book provides research-based skills and insights that will benefit students and professionals in fields ranging from communication, politics, management, human resources, organizational psychology, journalism, and anyone else looking to develop critical interaction skills.

Recenzii
"Grey Behaviors after Logical Fallacies in Public and Professional Communication is such an important and timely book. In its thorough and yet succinct format, it ‘inoculates’ the reader against the myriad of bad arguments that we encounter in our day-to-day lives. Critical thinking skills are vitally important, especially when we live in a world where ‘facts’ come flying at us with light speed from all directions and the failure to identify fallacious arguments can lead to grave consequences. I can’t imagine anyone who would not benefit from reading this book."—Suzanne M. Papiewski, Attorney and international tax specialist, Washington, D.C., USA
