The Duck That Won the Lottery

by Julian Baggini

Description

A witty and accessible collection of philosophical puzzles, arguments, and everyday fallacies, this book examines how easily we confuse coincidence with causation and intuition with truth. Inspired by the notion that touching a lucky paper duck could make someone win the lottery, its lively examples expose the flawed reasoning behind many familiar beliefs and debates. With short, entertaining essays and a playful style, it invites readers to think more critically without sacrificing humor or intellectual curiosity.
