 Straight and Crooked Thinking

"Straight and Crooked Thinking" is a concept introduced by the British philosopher and author Robert H. Thouless in his 1930 book of the same name. In this work, Thouless explores the different ways people can think about problems and arguments, distinguishing between "straight thinking," which he describes as logical, rational, and clear, and "crooked thinking," which involves fallacies, emotional reasoning, and misleading arguments.
