really?Ben Novak spent fourteen years searching for the secret of Hitlers political success and his power as a speaker. Hitlers most astute contemporary observer, Konrad Heiden, who wrote the first objective books on Hitler warning that this man was the greatest massdisturber in world history, suggested that Hitlers secret lay in his use of eine eigentiimliche art von Logik,or a peculiar form of logic. Beginning with this clue, Novak finds that there is a new form of logic in accordance with Heidens description and examples that can explain Hitlers phenomenal political success. This new form of logic, called abduction, was discovered by an American philosopher, Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914), who is rapidly becoming Americas most well-known philosopher and logician.Abduction is a third form of logic, in addition to deduction and induction. Unlike the other forms of logic, abduction is based on instinct and has a power over emotions. Novak argues that Hitler was the first politician to apply the logic of abduction to politics. This book provides the first coherent account of Hitlers youth that ties together all the known facts, clearly showing the genesis of the strangest and most terrible man of the twentieth century while identifying the power he discovered that allowed him to break out into the world in such a terrifying way.
