Controversial Dialectic is the art of disputing, and of disputing in such a way as to hold one’s own, whether one is in the right or the wrong — per fas et nefas. A man may be objectively in the right, and nevertheless in the eyes of bystanders, and sometimes in his own, he may come off worst. For example, I may advance a proof of some assertion, and my adversary may refute the proof, and thus appear to have refuted the assertion, for which there may, nevertheless, be other proofs. In this case, of course, my adversary and I change places: he comes off best, although, as a matter of fact, he is in the wrong.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book is ok, but wording should be modernized
Reviewed in Canada on August 9, 2021
Verified Purchase
Some of the ideas presented are interesting, but I feel like the wording is quite old (which makes sense considering it was written a while ago). It would be beneficial for the reader if someone would 'update' this book with modern language to ease the reader's comprehension.
This book also lack practical exemples and applications I think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for Dads who think they're right
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2022
Verified Purchase
I got this for my Dad as he insists he's right about things despite basing his opinions on supposition / the Telegraph, but he didn't get more than a few more pages in before giving up. Can't fault Shopenhauer for that though, I read through quickly and though it was great - fallacies and tricks laid bare in a (dryly) humorous fashion.
