Synopsis

Fallacies: A View of Logic from the Practical Side is a book written by Alfred Sidgwick. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the fallacies that people often make in their reasoning and argumentation. The author explores the different types of fallacies, such as the fallacies of ambiguity, presumption, and relevance. He also examines the reasons why people commit these fallacies and the consequences of doing so. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the theoretical aspects of fallacies, while the second part provides practical examples of fallacies in everyday life. The author uses a conversational tone and clear language to explain complex concepts, making the book accessible to readers with varying levels of knowledge in the field of logic. Fallacies: A View of Logic from the Practical Side is a valuable resource for anyone interested in improving their critical thinking skills. It is particularly useful for students of philosophy, rhetoric, and law, as well as for professionals in fields such as politics, journalism, and advertising. The book provides readers with the tools they need to identify and avoid fallacies in their own reasoning and to recognize fallacious arguments made by others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
