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.
