British philosopher and prominent writer on religion, Julian Baggini, is giving a public talk tomorrow evening, Tuesday 18th at 2000h, in the Gandon Suite of the Davenport Hotel, Merrion Square.

The talk is entitled "How to argue badly and (still) influence people", and it's based upon his latest book "The Duck that Won the Lottery", in which he catalogues 100 types of bad argument and rhetorical moves. With examples, he will talk about factors common to several species of bad argument and ask how we can make ourselves more resistant to bad thinking. More at http://www.julianbaggini.com.

This talk is a must-go for anybody interested in seeing up close the faulty logic and arguments that atheists typically use.

Admission to the talk is €3 for ISS members and concessions and €6 for non-members.

I was thinking about picking up his book on the thought experiments a while back. But then the recession hit.
