Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Madsen Pirie's The Book of the Fallacy: A training manual for intellectual subversives is a highly entertaining introduction to logical mistakes or fallacies. There is no end to human error and folly, and Pirie's short treatment of the 50 most egregious fallacies is both instructive and entertaining. I will try to order the text through Amazon's out-of-print service, but also have access to one at the local library. It is a pity that the book has gone out of print. There are many newer books on the market, dealing with similar material, but this is the most accessible I've experienced.

Those tricks of logic or language used to persuade people into accepting false beliefs are gleefully exposed.
