This book, arising from the author's decades of experience, presents an extensive examination of the role of reasoning in everyday human life and offers guidance on recognizing and countering fallacies. The text posits that logic, commonly regarded as a tool of formal argumentation, also serves an essential role in shaping our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Seeking to clarify the subject for those not already familiar with logic, the book carefully unpacks the thought processes occurring during reasoning and examines their reliability. The author expounds the concept of fallacies—subtle errors of reasoning that can lead to invalid conclusions—and classifies them into distinct types. Intended to empower readers, this book provides analytical tools to evaluate arguments and recognize logical fallacies, demonstrating how such capabilities are invaluable in navigating the complex world of information, competing claims, and misinformation.
