About the author

Alfred Sidgwick was an English logician and philosopher whose work concentrated on argument, ambiguity, evidence, and the practical use of reasoning. “One should read in the works of Alfred Sidgwick the inadequacy of formal logic and the ways of sound argument in actual debate.” (Jacques Barzun)
