From the Author
misprint corrections and request for help from readerss
I've found a few serious misprints in my book, and want to warn readers about them. (If you find something you think might be a misprint I'd be grateful if you emailed me at
M.Haight@philosophy.arts.gla.ac.uk
- if I'm not overwhelmed with emails I might even get back to you about whether it really is one!) I've also asked Routledge to put an updated list on the web page mentioned in the preface - which will soon (though not yet - 1 Dec. 1999) also have the interactive exercises promised in that same preface.
Good luck with the book - Mary Haight

Page 350: Answer to question 11 - fifth line should read:
(P: You are an elephant.)
Page 350: Answer to question 12 should read:
12. Since (I assume) you are neither a sheep nor an elephant, the argument gives anexample of this form which has true premises and a false conclusion.
Page 355 First line on page should read simply:
7. (F1),(F6) and (F7) fit the Snake Argument.
