"Do they manage to convince you with the right arguments?"

"Can you tell the logical (and honest) argument from the persuasive one that fools you?"

Every day we receive a barrage of absurdities, i.e. arguments which are intended to mislead us. They are formulated in such a way that they seem valid and convincing, while they are nothing more than sophistry, rhetorical tricks. That's how they manage to trick us.

This book is a manual of "logical self-defense", in which the 40 most common fallacies are recorded, explained and analyzed. It is addressed to those who wish to be able to recognize logical pitfalls, so that they can avoid them and not be seduced. Because logic has nothing to do with sophistry and all kinds of "logical tricks".
