“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...

評分我一嚮認為我是很講道理的。直到我lg讀瞭這本書。 事情是這樣的。 他在玩手機,我在旁邊看著他打開郵箱app,直接把第一條順豐快遞信左滑刪除瞭。我說:“乾嗎看都不看直接刪掉?” 他:“垃圾郵件乾擾我收取重要郵件。” 我:“那你可以直接標記重要郵件,況且順豐快遞信不是真...

有點意思。得反復看纔能敏感得起來。要是後麵有很多例子和為什麼錯就更好瞭。

評分讀過以後真的覺得我的邏輯太差瞭,以及大概是功力不到傢??插畫我理解起來有點費力????
評分常見邏輯錯誤的圖示說明。配圖很有意思,算是我所喜愛的風格吧。中譯版叫神邏輯,也是蠻神的。
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)
