Influence & Persuasion: How to get other people to agree with you - Dr Peter Connolly

A talk by Dr Peter Connolly

 Peter Connolly will outline two broad strategies for persuading people to accept that what you claim is true. The first is persuasion by evidence-based philosophical argumentation and the second is persuasion by rhetorical argumentation. By the end of the talk, you should be able to make your own arguments more robust and be able to spot the flaws in the persuasive tactics of others.

Peter Connolly has taught Religious Studies, Ethics, Indian Religions, and Psychology of Religion at the University of Chichester and the Open University. His most recent book, Understanding Religious Experience, is due to be published in February 2019.
