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 & other common attempts at reasoning that 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) & 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 recognise these abuses of reason they start to crop up everywhere from parliamentary debate to You Tube comments
- which makes this geek-chic book a must for anyone in the habit of holding opinions It's the antidote to fuzzy thinking with furry animals!
