A bestselling title, now available in paperback, which shows how to simultaneously strengthen your own thinking and identify the weaknesses in other poeple's arguements.
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 clearheaded and logical but all readers will find in this book fallacies which they themselves are guilty. The author shows you how to strengthen your own thinking and identify the weakness in other people's arguments. More mischievously, Pirie also shows how to be deliberately illogical - and get away with it.
