42 Fallacies
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
A practical primer on informal fallacies, the everyday errors of reasoning that people slip into when they argue. Rather than offering a dense textbook treatment, the book sets out forty-two of the most familiar types, each with a short explanation and examples drawn from ordinary conversation, advertising and politics. Readers who want to spot weak arguments in the news, in debate or in their own thinking will find a quick reference here. Its brevity makes it easy to dip into, whether for study or for sharpening day-to-day judgement.
