Casuistry, sophistry and spin

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management Mumbo-Jumbo, 2006, pp 35-36 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Jesuits are famous (at least from a Protestant perspective) for their casuistry, lawyers for their sophistry and politicians for their spin. They are all, one way or another, in the same business: the business of persuasion and of conversion. They want your mind, your soul, your vote and often your wallet.
