How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic
In this witty and infectious book Madsen Pirie provides a complete guide to
using - and indeed abusing - logic in order to win arguments. He identifies
with devastating examples all the most common fallacies popularly used in
argument. We all like to think of ourselves as clear-headed and logical - but
all readers will find in this book fallacies of which they themselves are
guilty. The author shows you how to simultaneously strengthen your own thinking
and identify the weaknesses in other people arguments. And, more mischievously,
Pirie also shows how to be deliberately illogical - and get away with it. This
book will make you maddeningly smart: your family, friends and opponents will
all wish that you had never read it.
Publisher's warning: In the wrong hands this book is dangerous. We
recommend that you arm yourself with it whilst keeping out of the hands of
others. Only buy this book as a gift if you are sure that you can trust the
recipient.
