“A flawless compendium of flaws.” —Alice Roberts, PhD, anatomist, writer, and presenter of The Incredible Human Journey
The antidote to fuzzy thinking, with furry animals!
Have you read (or stumbled into) one too many irrational online debates? Ali Almossawi certainly had, so he wrote An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments! This handy guide is here to bring the internet age a much-needed dose of old-school logic (really old-school, a la Aristotle).
Here are cogent explanations of the straw man fallacy, the slippery slope argument, the ad hominem attack, and other common attempts at reasoning that actually fall short—plus a beautifully drawn menagerie of animals who (adorably) commit every logical faux pas. Rabbit thinks a strange light in the sky must be a UFO because no one can prove otherwise (the appeal to ignorance). And Lion doesn’t believe that gas emissions harm the planet because, if that were true, he wouldn’t like the result (the argument from consequences).
Once you learn to recognize these abuses of reason, they start to crop up everywhere from congressional debate to YouTube comments—which makes this geek-chic book a must for anyone in the habit of holding opinions.

评分诉诸结果:以结果的好坏来衡量命题的真假(EG:因为减少车次会耽误我出行,所以会让经济衰退) 稻草人谬误:拙劣模仿、歪曲他人观点。引诱他人为歪题辩护。(EG:你说西施,他就把你说成东施) 诉诸无关权威:引用非当前领域权威识图证明(EG:理工大V说社会学这件事情是这样的,...
评分你不理屈,为何词穷? 因为你被气势汹汹的神逻辑们唬住了! 大家先来做一道题吧: 以下论证中,属于“神逻辑”(bad arguments)的有:(多选) A. 我抄袭?你那篇文章还不知道是谁写的呢。 B. 网友小袁的女友对小袁说:“你不给我买包就是不爱我。”于是,小袁花了4000欧买...
