The Art of Controversy (or The Art of Being Right) (Die Kunst, Recht zu Behalten) is a short treatise written in 1831 by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in which he presents thirty-eight methods of gaining an unfair advantage in a debate and thereby being right even if you are wrong. Schopenhauer champions the virtue of dialectical argument, in his view wrongly neglected by philosophers in favour of logic, and goes on to discuss the distinction between our conscious intellectual powers and our will. The text is a favourite of debaters including the philosophers AC Grayling and Mary Warnock, and the Mayor of London Boris Johnson. (Summary by Carl Manchester) (3 hr 13 min)

if you want to debate and win no matter what read this book. it will guide you how to argue and cope with any challenges your opponent comes up with. the only thing that you should know if you want this to be efficent is to practice as much as you can to develop these methods in your subconscious mind. By the way, a friendly reminder, be honest with yourself first, are you absolutely sure that you are right or you just want to win this debate? if you are then go for it.
