This book has been translated by The National Council for Culture, Arts and Literatures – Kuwait
An introduction to logical thinking and the tricks of argument, with 37 demonstrations of illogical and crooked thinking, and how they may be overcome by the use of straight thought.
Following a request from Dylan Dog, I thought I would post a short bit about one of my favourite books of all time. Yes, The God Delusion is good. Yes, Moby Dick is sublime.
Yes, the Bible is lots of fun (as long as you don’t take it too seriously). But this book is a concise work of supreme genius.
What book?
It’s pretty difficult to get hold of these days – inexplicably it is no longer available in cheap paperback.
The edition I have was £1.95 in 1974 (by Pan Books), but the heritage of this treasure goes back to the 1930s, when the rise of crooked thinking was poisoning Europe, and indeed copies of the original edition were distributed to British troops to help them counter Nazi propaganda. There followed significant revisions in 1953 and 1974, and Thouless’s son Christopher published a revised and edited edition in the 1990s (which I haven’t read).
If you are a publisher, buy the rights to this book, and put it back on the mass market, where it belongs!
