When using Logos (classic and the only way to argue reasonable) as your base of argument and you stand up against an oponent, what you do is in fact seach for common ground. The reason why you're doing this is because the only way you would be able to get oponent to admit to your conclusion is by using premises he accept. In society as a whole you hear valid reasoning less than 0.001% of the time. Specially among politicans

I'm afraid this guy knows very little about the theory of argumentation.

Compare the views of Roger Fisher: "Getting to Yes;" and especially the "workbook," but even more, "Beyond Machiavelli," which he argues, is more effective than power politics. Find more of this latter point in his: "Coping with International Conflict and his earlier pair "International Conflict for Beginners" and "Dear Israelis, Dear Arabs." One more: "Getting Together: Building Relationships as We Negotiate." (I blog on these; google: "Listen, Learn, Leverage, Lead" etc.)

Thank you so much for this video. Very informative.

I would not say that the ad hominem is a typical feature of the classical argument.

Liked your presentation. Thanks.
