The Art of Always Being Right

Occasionally hard to read, yet it is a revealing conversation about fallacies. A succinct classic, you will see its imprint on more recent discussions on similar topics.

A valuable read

Short colletcion of truisms, buy somethinge else

This is obviously an adaptation of Schopenhauer's famous "The Art of Being Right", which lists 38 stratagems of eristic discourse. Schopenhauer does not approve of these techniques, but instead he was so annoyed by them that he listed them so people could recognize and discard them.The blurbs are fake, and "persuation" is not a word.I recommend to get the original book; you can get it for free if you like.

A book of interesting insights and techniques that get you thinking about what, how and when you raise different types of argument and proposition.You won't become a better debater overnight but using selected techniques overtime and incrementally will help you build up an armoury of argument methods that might just help you come out on top in a discussion, even if you're not in the right.Read. Learn. Practice. And thank AC Grayling for helping you

Get the rhetoric right so you don't have to bother with facts - not what I think but it pays to be able to see the flaws in others' arguments. I gave a copy to an undergraduate just before university as I wish I'd had something similar given to me in my time.

Excellent read, well worth downloading. This would be of particular interest to any aspiring law students or law enforcement officers or anyone with an interest in debating, psychology, human nature... etc. etc.

Just started reading this book by Arthur Schopenhauer. Very amusing to read and who knows maybe useful. However this work seems to be intended as an intellectual joke, I sure get the feeling this man meant what he wrote. Most amusing I find to be the examples, which are all very fermiliar. A nice and countrary book full of tricks to out discuss an opponent even when you're wrong. It's not about who is right or wrong in a logic sense, but it's about who wins and doesn't lose his face :-)

Good.
