Description

Learn about the fallacies found in debating with this handy guide. The authors will take you alphabetically through fallacies and offer a definition, explanation, example, real-life example, the mistake, the comeback, and the significance for each. The author uses real-life examples that tend to be more liberal and contemporary, both politically and religiously. Note that some examples are the existence of God, homosexuality, creation/evolution, etc. These examples all come down on the side of liberality. It is good to recognize that there are flaws in opinions and debates every day, and everyone should know how to deal with them and make good decisions about what they believe. This book will help you be aware of some of those flaws. 201 pgs, pb. ~ Donna
