The Duck That Won the Lottery

The Duck That Won the Lottery: 100 New Experiments for the Armchair Philosopher by Julian Baggini


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Julian Baggini goes through 100 common mistakes in argumentation, citing actual examples he has found. The book is an insightful overview of how we are often led astray with clear fallacies. My favorite was the very last one where Baggini even admits there may be some in this very book itself but concludes with advice to be vigilant in our analyses. I think this book is important reading for anybody, particularly if they want to seriously engage in debates.
