About the Book

"The Art of Being Right: 38 Ways to Win an Argument" is a treatise written by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, first published in 1831. In this work, Schopenhauer delves into the strategies and tactics individuals can employ to successfully argue and prevail in debates or discussions.


Schopenhauer's approach to argumentation is deeply rooted in the psychology of persuasion and the dynamics of human interaction. He categorizes the various methods of argumentation into 38 distinct strategies, each designed to exploit different weaknesses in an opponent's reasoning or rhetorical style.



Some of the techniques Schopenhauer discusses include:


  1. Using diversionary tactics to shift the focus away from weak points in one's own argument.
  2. Employing ad hominem attacks to undermine the credibility or character of one's opponent.
  3. Resorting to emotional manipulation to evoke sympathy or support from the audience.
  4. Employing logical fallacies to create the illusion of a sound argument.



Schopenhauer's insights are not only practical but also highly critical of the often deceptive nature of argumentation. He highlights the importance of recognizing and guarding against the use of fallacious reasoning and manipulative tactics, both as a means of self-defense and as a way to maintain intellectual integrity.


Despite the somewhat cynical tone of the work, "The Art of Being Right" serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the dynamics of persuasion and rhetoric. By shedding light on the tactics commonly employed in debates and discussions, Schopenhauer provides readers with a deeper understanding of the strategies at play and equips them with the tools to engage more effectively in intellectual discourse.
