A beginner's course in critical thinking exploring the characteristics of sound argument
- Are all opinions equally valid?
- What are the components of a strong, convincing argument?
- How can you attack a flawed argument?
- What's the difference between subjective and objective justification?
In these Masterclasses, you can't just say any old thing and get away with it!

Workshops for beginners start with the fundamentals of sound argument. Advanced courses address more specialist techniques.
