Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or &quot;strong&quot; claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.<br><br>This book is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book. These are: <br><br>1) Acknowledge the Limits of Your Knowledge Regarding the Claim.<br>2) Explore Your Biases Related to the Claim.<br>3) Isolate the Actual Claim.<br>4) Clearly and Precisely Define Each Relevant Term.<br>5) Use Terms That Reflect the Scope of the Claim Accurately.<br>6) Operationalize Terms When Possible.<br>7) Make the Claim Falsifiable When Possible.<br>8) Express an Accurate and Meaningful Level of Confidence.<br>9) Convert Causes to Contributing Factors When Appropriate.<br>10) Make Strong Analogies and Call Out Weak Ones.<br>11) Filter All Relevant Assumptions Through These Same Rules.<br><br>The bottom line: the Rules of Reason will help you to become a better thinker and communicator.<br>
