Arthur Schopenhauer made this list with the purpose to show 38 ways to win an argument according to him. To win a debate depends on why you are debating. If you are trying to get the person you are debating to change views, these strategies are of no help. The other person will just become offended and hardened. If you are trying win in the eyes of a third party, these strategies may be the right choice. We as humans usually want the truth we seek or somehow ‘gain’ from this. And looking like you know the most truth doesn’t even help you either.
