Join us for  Reason and Arguments – How They Can Help Us Live Together (Webinar) on Thursday, April 8 at 1 PM.

We’ve all been there — had arguments with friends, family or even our neighbors. Arguments are a part of life. They are a natural and inevitable experience, and are tools for expressing or discovering reasons for positions and policies. But rather than fights or competition, arguments can help us appreciate each other, get along peacefully, and work together—even when we disagree strongly. In this virtual program, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, a Chauncey Stillman Professor of Practical Ethics at Duke University, will share more about how we can all benefit from learning how to argue better.

By participating in this program, you can also expect to learn how:

  • arguments are not fights.
  • arguments can help us understand each other.
  • analyzing arguments can provide joy.

This program is presented by Walt Sinnott-Armstrong and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
