This series of books, Essays on Logic as The Art of Reasoning well, presents the fundamentals of logic in a style accessible to both students and scholars. The text of each essay presents a story, the main line of development of the ideas, while the notes and appendices place the research within a larger scholarly context. The essays overlap, forming a unified analysis of logic as the art of reasoning well, yet each essay is designed so that it may be read independently.

The question addressed in The Fundamentals of Argument Analysis is how we can justify our beliefs through reasoning. The first essay, "Arguments," investigates what it is that we call true or false and how we reason toward truths through arguments. A general theory of argument analysis is set out on the basis of what we can assume about those with whom we reason. The next essay, "Fallacies," explains how the classification of an argument as a fallacy can be used within that general approach. In contrast, there is no agreement on what the terms "induction" and "deduction" mean, and they are not useful in evaluating arguments, as shown in "Induction and Deduction."

In reasoning to truths, in the end we must take some claims as basic, not requiring any justification for accepting them. How we choose those claims and how they affect our reasoning is examined in "Base Claims" ... Essays in "Base Claims" include "Analogies", "Subjective Claims", "Generalizing",  "Probabilities", and "Rationality,".

This volume is meant to give a clearer idea of how to reason well, setting out methods of evaluation that are motivated in terms of our abilities and interests. At the ground of our reasoning, though, are metaphysical assumptions, too basic and too much needed in our reasoning for us to justify them through reasoning. But we can try to uncover those assumptions to see how they are important and what depends on them, which is a major them of this volume.

Other volumes in the series Essays on Logic as The Art of Reasoning Well include:
Cause and Effect, Conditionals, Explanations
Prescriptive Reasoning
Reasoning in Science and Mathematics

How anyone can be more effective with less effort by learning how to identify and leverage the 80/20 principle--the well-known, unpublicized secret that 80 percent of all our results in business and in life stem from a mere 20 percent of our efforts.

The 80/20 principle is one of the great secrets of highly effective people and organizations.

Did you know, for example, that 20 percent of customers account for 80 percent of revenues? That 20 percent of our time accounts for 80 percent of the work we accomplish? The 80/20 Principle shows how we can achieve much more with much less effort, time, and resources, simply by identifying and focusing our efforts on the 20 percent that really counts. Although the 80/20 principle has long influenced today's business world, author Richard Koch reveals how the principle works and shows how we can use it in a systematic and practical way to vastly increase our effectiveness, and improve our careers and our companies.

The unspoken corollary to the 80/20 principle is that little of what we spend our time on actually counts. But by concentrating on those things that do, we can unlock the enormous potential of the magic 20 percent, and transform our effectiveness in our jobs, our careers, our businesses, and our lives.

生命,才是最值得去的地方 : 敘事治療與旅行的相遇

旅行看似出走，卻是一種回歸。

作者透過旅行途中遇見的人事物，介紹敘事治療的視野；同時透過敘事治療的眼光，回頭看看旅程裡的風景，一路上且行且思，讓「旅行故事」與「敘事治療概念」來回對話，交織成一幅深刻動人的生命風景，幫助讀者打開心扉，向內旅行，撐起更大的心靈空間。

在旅行裡，旅者交換了故事，也就交換了生命的某種能量。

當我透過聆聽別人的生命故事，而碰觸到自己內在的深刻經驗，這種共鳴感受就是所謂的生命感。這些生命的碰觸會影響我接下來的行動與思考，影響我的人生。這就是敘說故事的影響力。因為彼此的生命在故事裡現身，於是更深刻的相互影響就發生了，這也就是為何敘事治療強調聽故事、說故事，因為故事可以承載活生生的生命，可以更自然地產生影響人的力道。
