Fallacies - or conclusions that don't follow from their premises - are at the root of most bad arguments, but it can be easy to stumble into a fallacy without realizing it. In this guide to good arguments gone bad, Robert Arp, Steven Barone, and Michael Bruce take readers through 100 of the most infamous fallacies in Western philosophy, identifying the most common missteps, pitfalls, and dead-ends of argumentation. Whether an instance of sunk cost, is ought, affirming the consequent, moving the goal post, beginning the questions, or the ever-popular slippery slope, each fallacy is enriched by examples drawn from contemporary politics, economics, media, and popular culture, and is supplemented with useful diagrams and tables.
