About This Item
London, England: Continuum. Fine with no dust jacket. 2007. Trade Paperback. 0826498949 . Trade paperback in Fine condition. Very light wear to the cover edges, light rubbing. Bright, tight & clean. "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's 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. "; 0.63 x 7.64 x 5.04 Inches; 192 pages .
