Give Them an Argument (2019)

I believe that learning logic and argumentation skills is incredibly important for promoting leftist politics. The author of this book thinks so too! For a certain kind of leftist, this gentle and practical introduction to logic will be a good primer to basic logic concepts.

The is-ought problem, thick concepts, and implicit values

I introduce some philosophical concepts (the is-ought problem and the notion of thick concepts) to illustrate why you cannot remove morals from political debate, why avoiding words like "racist" because they are "inherently alienating" is an unproductive exercise, and why explicitly appealing to values helps facilitate political discussion and communication.
