Why fallacies?

 
Argumentative fallacies are errors that lurk in arguments and reasoning. A distracted or unprepared listener often misses them and runs the risk of taking as valid what is actually deceptive.

Skilled and malicious persuaders can then exploit the fallacies to prevail in a debate over those who argue in a logical way. But fallacies are not always voluntary: we can fall into a fallacy without realizing it, and, when this happens, we deceive ourselves.

So, learning what the fallacies are is important, because it will enable us to check the correctness of our own and others' arguments and to avoid the traps of manipulators.

Unmasking deceptions will be easier and more fun when we know the names of the different types of fallacies and, to an extent, these cards also suggest how to respond to deceptive arguments.

Why cards?

 
Cards are a particularly well-suited format for dealing with individual fallacies. Each card is complete and independent, and the decks is also modular, so that new cards can be integrated and new decks formed in the future.

Cards are enjoyable to browse through. And unlike the pages of books, they can be shuffled and distributed to different people or groups, as part of a game or an educational activity, or in team building.
