Bol Political arguments rarely fail for lack of certainty. They fail because certainty outruns evidence. In an age of polarization, viral clips, ideological tribes, and algorithmic outrage, people have become remarkably skilled at detecting fallacies committed by their opponents-and remarkably blind to the same errors when committed by their own side. A Lie Cannot Defend the Truth is an accessible and practical guide to logic, fallacies, motivated reasoning, statistics, scientific evidence, and intellectual honesty. Through political examples drawn from the left, the right, the media, activist movements, and contemporary culture wars, Paulo Roberto Truchlaeff shows how arguments can fail even when their conclusions happen to be true-and how valid reasoning can still begin with false premises.
