Discover the power of analogies and the dangers of false equivalences. Find out how people construct misleading arguments, and how we can argue back.Eugenia Cheng teaches us how to find clarity without losing nuance, taking a careful scalpel to the complexities of politics, privilege, sexism and dozens of other real-world situations. Her Art of Logic is a practical and inspiring guide to decoding the modern world.
