TEDTalks, Daniel H. Cohen—For argument's sake
Description
Why do we argue? To out-reason our opponents, prove them wrong, and, most of all, to win! ... Right? Philosopher Daniel H. Cohen shows how our most common form of argument -- a war in which one person must win and the other must lose -- misses out on the real benefits of engaging in active disagreement. "(Filmed at TEDxColbyCollege.)"
