内容简介

For thousands of years, mathematicians have used the timeless art of logic to see the world more clearly. In The Art of Logic, Royal Society Science Book Prize nominee Eugenia Cheng shows how anyone can think like a mathematician - and see, argue and think better.

Learn how to simplify complex decisions without over-simplifying them. 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.

几千年来，数学家一直使用永恒的逻辑艺术来更清楚地了解世界。在《逻辑的艺术》中，皇家学会科学图书奖的提名人Eugenia Cheng展示了任何人都可以像数学家一样思考-看到，争论和思考得更好。

了解如何简化复杂的决定，而过度简化他们。发现类比的力量和错误对等的危险。了解人们如何构造误导性论点，以及我们如何反驳。

Eugenia Cheng教我们如何在不失去细微差别的情况下找到清晰的画面，对政治，特权，性别歧视和许多其他现实情况的复杂性进行仔细的解剖。她的逻辑艺术是解码现代世界的实用而启发性的指南。
