Illustrated with a few diagrams. 'There is hardly a subject that dies harder or has changed so little over the years. After two millennia of active study of logic and, in particular, after over half of that most iconoclastic of centuries, the twentieth A.D., we still find fallacies classified, presented and studied in much the same old way.... Strangely, in a certain sense, there has never yet been a book on fallacies; never, that is, a book-length study of the subject as a whole, or of incorrect reasoning in its own right rather than as an afterthought or adjunct to something else.... What is needed, above all, is discussion of some unresolved theoretical questions.... The truth is that nobody, these days, is particularly satisfied with this corner of logic.' (-from chapter one). Includes bibliography and index. 326 p. illus. 22 cm.
