Thinking from A to Z

Thinking from A to Z

What is `humpty-dumptying’? Do `arguments from analogy’ ever stand up? How do I know when someone is using `weasel words’? What’s the difference between a `red herring’ and a `straw man’? This superb book, now in its third edition, will help anyone who wants to argue well and think critically. Using witty and topical examples, this fully-updated edition includes many new entries and updates the whole text. New entries include: Principle of Charity Lawyer’s Answer Least Worst Option Poisoning the Well Sentimentality Sunk Cost Fallacy Weasel Words `You would say that wouldn’t you’. Thinking from A to Z may not help you win every argument, but it will definitely give you the power to tell a good one from a bad one.
