Description

Explore a definitive version of Jeremy Bentham's work with The Book of Fallacies. This edition from Oxford University Press is the first to follow Bentham's original structure, providing a more accurate look at his reasoning. Unlike previous versions that omitted significant material, this volume includes a wide range of fallacies and illustrative examples that were previously lost to readers. Bentham focused on a specific type of error: the arguments used in political debate to block reform. Rather than looking at basic logical errors or simple misunderstandings of facts, this work examines the tactics used in the British Parliament. It provides a deep look at how arguments were deployed to prevent social and political progress. This book is an essential resource for those studying legal history, political science, and the evolution of debate.
