Want to differentiate between the heavy emotional language you hear, the logic used, and the various errors in logic? Want to know what that false argument is called? Want to find a book that does not look, feel, and read like a textbook, but can easily be read/perused at your convenience?
This little paperback book (174 pages) is one of the best resource for exposing the various arguments and false logic that we humans sometimes use. The prose flows very easily, groups related fallacies together, and the author offers plenty of real-life examples. The first 3 content chapters discuss Emotional Language, its use and misuse. Then there is a chapter on Logical Fallacies. Then the author talks about Irrelevance, Confusion, Oversimplification, Evasion, Erroneous Comparison and Contrast, Arguments, Semantics, and Syllogism.
"I just know that that doesn't make any sense, but I'm not sure why" begins the author in the first chapter "Everyday Nonsense." The end of the book has a summary listing of all the fallacies and nonsense terms, a Bibliography, and a useful Index. The author, Robert John Gula (1941-1989) was educated at Colby College and Harvard University. He taught a course on logic (among other subjects) at a very elite private American high school.

笑色,要少读书,有空要多出去走走,捡回一些自己的sense
评分学习胡搅蛮缠时不可或缺の一冊
评分简洁全面地介绍了常见的逻辑谬误。举例丰富,以日常生活为主。可以当作手册使用,但分类组织稍嫌杂乱。
评分Urge for closure smothers creativity by demonising uncertainty, the fundamental. 从中间偏后就开始废话而且有跑题的嫌疑扣一星。有深度,广度,耐心的思维模式太难了
评分地图炮,全面覆盖,结果是让人觉得还是放弃治疗比较轻松……
