I decided to reread Becks article because I felt that going back into his argument after having read Strawsons, which are opposing argument I would be able to have a clear view of the both of the arguments. Strawson and Beck have very different but oddly similar ways of approaching their arguments, they are both very quote heavy which in my personal opinion I feel detracts from their writing. I feel like when you quotes people more than you talk about your own points you aren’t making a hard argument. After reading these two arguments back to back I can see the positives and negatives to both sides. I feel like the way the Beck approached his argument, in more of a positive and informative notion it is easier to follow his argument. Strawson on the other hand has a very negative attitude going into his point and a air to him that resembles a very “I am right, you are wrong.” I find it hard to give credibly to someone who doesn’t acknowledge the other side of the argument.
