“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.
Ali Almossawi holds a Masters in Engineering Systems from MIT and a Masters in Software Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. He currently lives with his wife and daughter in San Francisco, where he works as a data visualization designer for Mozilla, while continuing to collaborate with his colleagues at the MIT Media Lab. Ali's work has appeared in publications such as Wired.

我相信,有人一定和我一样有个常有理的母亲。我做错一件事,她能瞬间从这件错事扯到我从小到大犯的错误,以证明我就是屡教不改。和她说一件事情,因为她当时的情绪不对所以认为我说的全都是狗屁不通。讨论一个事件,她也能胡乱猜测事件的结果与根本无关联的原因大大有关,让人...
評分 評分 評分跟期待还是有很大差距QAQ以为是本有点厚度,看起来让人叫好不迭的理论强但却急具说服力的著作,没想到这么薄而且很浅显QAQ 但好处是其中列出的逻辑谬误在生活中的常见程度令人惊叹,甚至每一个典型都可以想到实际的例子。有些是我知道的逻辑漏洞,另一些则是有时我觉得无理取...
