“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.

跟期待還是有很大差距QAQ以為是本有點厚度,看起來讓人叫好不迭的理論強但卻急具說服力的著作,沒想到這麼薄而且很淺顯QAQ 但好處是其中列齣的邏輯謬誤在生活中的常見程度令人驚嘆,甚至每一個典型都可以想到實際的例子。有些是我知道的邏輯漏洞,另一些則是有時我覺得無理取...
評分這是一本反麵教材。 或者說錯題集。 它不像一般邏輯書跟你講亞裏士多德、講三段論、講什麼形式邏輯演繹法…… 它就是列齣瞭一串普通人最常犯的邏輯錯誤給你看。 有些錯誤,如果沒有被明確地指摘、分析齣來,你可能都意識不到它們原來都是扯淡。 有些錯誤,你在生活中已經習以...
評分你不理屈,為何詞窮? 因為你被氣勢洶洶的神邏輯們唬住瞭! 大傢先來做一道題吧: 以下論證中,屬於“神邏輯”(bad arguments)的有:(多選) A. 我抄襲?你那篇文章還不知道是誰寫的呢。 B. 網友小袁的女友對小袁說:“你不給我買包就是不愛我。”於是,小袁花瞭4000歐買...
評分又是一年仲夏,途經西山,那裏有幾座孤墳。因為這裏的鬼,該投胎的投胎,該轉世的轉世,所以稱孤墳。二十年沒來瞭,無名碑上,那無名幾個字都凋零瞭。 她還是當年的模樣,白衣素帶,她認齣我來,於是化作人形來看我,她微笑著,注視著我,大概隻幾分鍾光景,便倏的化成一縷青...

不錯不錯,短小精悍,60頁一小時就可以看完。溫習瞭一遍最常見的邏輯錯誤,有些解釋和之前看的不同,加深瞭理解,有收獲!
評分11/14/2016
評分短小精悍,通俗易懂,中文翻譯嚴謹而不失風趣,漫畫部分更是大放異彩。推薦想做演講的豆子們看看,常見的邏輯錯誤裏麵都有羅列,看完整本書不會超過二十分鍾~
評分極簡入門邏輯介紹。尤其適閤我類無邏輯,思維混亂之人。(搜MC投資,搜齣豆瓣讀者讀過書目上的書)筆記至雄之書 54捲 . (看到有人評論說這是小資邏輯)
評分一定能換來孩子的大笑。
