The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- However, the precise definition of "informal logic" is a matter of some dispute.
- Ralph H. Johnson and J. Anthony Blair define informal logic as "a branch of logic whose task is to develop non-formal standards, criteria, procedures for the analysis, interpretation, evaluation, criticism and construction of argumentation." This definition reflects what had been implicit in their practice and what others were doing in their informal logic texts.
- Informal logic is associated with informal fallacies, critical thinking, the thinking skills movement and the interdisciplinary inquiry known as argumentation theory.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Informal logic article was read about 12,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 42: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
