London, England: Continuum, 2007. Trade Paperback. ISBN: 0826498949. Trade paperback in Fine condition. Very light wear to the cover edges, light rubbing. Bright, tight & clean. "In this witty and infectious book, Madsen Pirie provides a complete guide to using - and indeed abusing - logic in order to win arguments. He identifies with devastating examples all the most common fallacies popularly used in argument. We all like to think of ourselves as clear-headed and logical - but all readers will find in this book fallacies of which they themselves are guilty. The author shows you how to simultaneously strengthen your own thinking and identify the weaknesses in other people's arguments. And, more mischievously, Pirie also shows how to be deliberately illogical - and get away with it. This book will make you maddeningly smart: your family, friends and opponents will all wish that you had never read it. "; 0.63 x 7.64 x 5.04 Inches; 192 pages. Fine with no dust jacket .

La Poursuite de la Vérité

Seuil, 1993. Paperback. ISBN: 2020127644. A Very Good+ Trade Paperback. A sound binding with bright, unmarked pages. One spine crease and light edgewear to the edges. "La Poursuite de la vérité condense avec brio, tout en les approfondissant, l'ensemble des idées de Willard Van Orman Quine sur " la signification cognitive, la référence objective et les bases de la connaissance ". Le lecteur averti profitera de l'effort de clarification sur des thèmes aussi délicats, par exemple, que l'indétermination de la traduction ou le compte rendu décitationnel de la vérité. Le lecteur non encore familier trouvera l'occasion unique d'une vue d'ensemble particulièrement accessible, sans jamais renoncer à la rigueur. Le grand projet de l'auteur – aligner l'analyse de la connaissance, ou épistémologie, sur les sciences de la nature – n'a jamais été présenté ni défendu plus lucidement." ; 140 X 16 X 206 millimeters; 160 pages. Very Good+ .
