In the Essay on Education I am on safer ground, although long contemplation has deprived me of that freshness of perception with which I approached the pre vions themes. With fine subtlety of instinct, he who instils intellectual doubts has always been branded as the enemy and yet, in defence, I beg leave to put forward to the persons for whom this book is intended the plaintive enquiry which the Apostle addressed to the Galatians: Am I become an enemy because I Speak the truth A.

Excerpt from Essays in Fallacy The Essays which are contained in this book are addressed immediately to the woman, the professor, and the theologian, - three persons who have much in common, the one with the other. The Essay with which the book begins has arisen out of a series of articles contributed to "The Spectator." Upon that occasion the conclusions set forth were accepted in certain quarters as being only partially true, especially by persons who had not read them. Also, the limit of space imposed by periodical publication compels a condensed form of statement, and does not permit of that expanse of writing and wealth of illustration by which a free asperity of expression may be obtained, and full conviction enforced. The exposition of the psychology of the suffragette in the second paper is, I think, sufficiently obvious, and does not require further comment.

Excerpt from Popular Fallacies in Chaucer and Donne: Two Essays Though Chaucer speaks of himself in the Prologue to the Astrolabe as merely an ignorant translator of old astronomers, we may reasonably ascribe much of what he says to professional modesty. Indeed, in the very next sentence he tells Little Lewis, the child for whom the Astrolabe was written, that one reason he has per formed his labor is to correct some conclusions that do not work out properly from the treatises he has here tofore seen.

Excerpt from Critical, Historical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 of 6 Nothing is more amusing or instructive than to ob serve the manner in which people who think themselves wiser than all the rest Of the world fall into snares which the simple good sense of their neighbours detects and avoids. It is one of the principal tenets of the Utilitarians that sentiment and eloquence serve only to impede the pursuit of truth. They therefore affect a quakerly plainness, or rather a cynical negligence and impurity, of style. The strongest arguments, when clothed in brilliant language, seem to them so much wordy nonsense. In the mean time they surren der their understandings, with a facility found in no other party, to the meanest and most abject sophisms, provided those sophisms come before them disguised with the externals of demonstration. They do not seem to know that logic has its illusions as well as rhet orie, that a fallacy may lurk in a syllogism as well as in a metaphor.

Excerpt from The View Vertical: And Other Essays The chief result of the war is that it has left everybody's nerves jumpy. Nations and individuals give too much evidence that they have been lying awake at night, listening to burglars stealthily trying the cellar windows. Our jangled nerves seem unable to respond to the simple fact that for some time now our jewel cases and our watches and our dining silver have been obstinately reappearing each morning in familiar security. Despite this reassuring circumstance, sleeplessness dominates the intercourse of mind with mind, which, whether expressed in art or literature, in newsprint or conversation, is made up of wan-eyed recountings of the new things each of us has found to be afraid of the night before. At a time when a holocaust has left the nerves of humanity raw and quivering, it is well we should stoutly take ourselves in hand to conquer a universal neurasthenia. The best nerve treatment seems to be to convince the patient of what is the matter with him, and then to trust to his own common sense to restore his equilibrium.

Since 1970, when Charles Hamblin issued a challenge for philosophers, logicians, and educators in general to begin work anew in fallacies, a serious literature on fallacies has indeed developed. Part of this literature deals with the theory of what fallacies are; another part of it contains rigorous analyses of particular fallacies. However, most is still not readily accessible to the researcher, teacher, or student of the field. As a result, the best work on fallacies is not finding its way into the classroom, nor is it informing the educational and intellectual experiences available to most college and university students. A major purpose of this book is to make the post-Hamblin work on fallacies available to a wider audience in a single, convenient volume. The editors have brought together for the first time the most important historical writings on fallacy theory, from Aristotle to John Stuart Mill, and the most recent and most important theoretical and pedagogical developments in the field since Hamblin's landmark 1970 book. All but a few of the essays included are new contributions for this anthology, and an extensive annotated bibliography is included for researchers and students of fallacies and fallacy theory.

Excerpt from Essays, Philosophical, Historical, and Literary To thefe very powerful and cogent argu arguments the advocates for philofophical liberty, viz. Clarke, Beattie, Butler, Price, Law, Bryant, Wollaflon, Horfley, &c. Reply to the following purpofe -as all mankind have an internal con fcioufnefs of freedom, and as it is impofiible for any metaphyfical fubtilties fo totally to overpower the original and genuine dictates of nature, as to excite a real belief in the mind of any rational being that he is not mailer of his own actions, but that he is a mere machine, and as incapable of controlling the events of his life, or the determin ations of his will, as a puppet to refill: the impulfe of the wires by which he is put in motion, it might feem fuflicient to appeal to common fenfe for the refutation of affertions fo extravagant and abfurd; but in order more completely to expofe the fallacy and detect the fophiflry of thofe arguments by which their antagonifts attempt to reafon men out of their reafon, it is proper, fay they, to enter into a more full and accurate inveftigation of them; and with refpeet to the fo much boafied argument from the necefi'ary operation of caufes and effects, they profefs their readinefs to acknowledge the neceflity of a caufe to the produetion of any effect, but they can by no means admit the application of this axiom to the fupport of the hypothefis in queftion, nor by any meam allow that motives are to be ponfidered as the efficient caufes of volition: The man alone is the agent, and forms the volition, 319011 the view and confideration of motives indeed.
