In this posthumously published work, philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer presents a cynical yet practical manual on the art of argumentation, or 'Eristic Dialectic'. He outlines 38 clever stratagems designed to help one win a debate, irrespective of the truth. This work is not about seeking objective truth but about exploiting logical fallacies and human psychology to emerge victorious in any discussion, offering a witty and Machiavellian exploration of the tricks people use to assert intellectual dominance.
