These diabolical dilemmas increase in difficulty as you go along in the book. A great tool. Soft 95p #305-175 $6.95 The Fallacy Detective Nathaniel Bluedorn and Hans Bluedorn The brothers Bluedorn have created a very clever tool to meet an extraordinary gap in the materials necessary to teach Logic and provide a complete education in the dialectic stage. Studying Informal Logic, as the study of fallacies is sometimes described, will do more to teach the student to think clearly, reason well and spot errors in the reasoning of others than any other activity. This book complements the Introductory Logic and Intermediate Logic texts to provide a thorough study of the discipline.
