Event Outline

Professor Brewer will outline the “Logocratic Method,” an explication of the nature and uses of argument and reasoned evidence. The Logocratic Method explains, precisely, three ways in which arguments can be strong or weak. This explanation in turn suggests what are both the powers and the daunting limits of reasoned, evidence-based arguments. It offers an understanding of post-truth and non-truth processes that is neither utopian nor dystopic.
