{ "item_title" : "On Sophistical Refutations", "item_author" : [" Aristotle "], "item_description" : "On Sophistical Refutations is a book written by Aristotle, a Greek philosopher who lived in the 4th century BCE. The book is a treatise on the topic of logical fallacies and sophisms, which are arguments that appear to be valid but are actually false or misleading. In the book, Aristotle identifies and analyzes various types of fallacies, such as equivocation, amphiboly, and false cause, and provides examples of each. He also discusses the ways in which these fallacies can be used to deceive people and undermine the truth. The book is considered an important work in the field of logic and rhetoric, and has influenced subsequent thinkers in these fields. It is also notable for its clear and concise style, which makes it accessible to readers of all levels of expertise.First we must grasp the number of aims entertained by those who argue as competitors and rivals to the death. These are five in number, refutation, fallacy, paradox, solecism, and fifthly to reduce the opponent in the discussion to babbling-i.e. to constrain him to repeat himself a number of times: or it is to produce the appearance of each of these things without the reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
