Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for people who like to think, discuss, argue. Its theme is human error. Unfortunately this is ever-present; it occurs throughout our history, in all areas. The errors targeted here are quite 'ordinary'. They are ones that can occur to thoughtful people through reading the news, watching TV, going to work, discussion with friends and colleagues, and generally just pondering. Topics discussed range from everyday things like sport, education and transport, to a few more serious subjects like religion and the moral law. Readers will almost certainly have had similar (and no doubt similarly critical) thoughts to the author on some if not all of these matters.Quite often the stance is deliberately controversial, provocative - thinking, or arguing, 'outside the box'. But - as the title implies - an attempt is always made to show that the normal, standard way of looking at things is flawed, irrational. Readers will not always agree with the line taken, but it is hoped that considering the arguments will be challenging and enjoyable.Dr Philip Holt has taught philosophy, mathematics and physics, and is the recipient of the Joad Prize for philosophy. He is the author of a recent book, God: The Case Against, published by Sussex Academic Press.
