"Sulle spalle dei giganti" rappresenta per i lettori di Eco un evento festoso. Lontano dalle aule universitarie, dai congressi accademici, dalle cerimonie onorarie, Eco scrive questi testi, nel corso di tre lustri, per intrattenere gli spettatori (che ogni volta per lui accorrono a frotte) della Milanesiana, il festival ideato e diretto da Elisabetta Sgarbi. Testi che il più delle volte traggono spunto dal tema stesso che ogni anno la Milanesiana si dà, per poi scorrere lungo rivoli di un repertorio che attinge alla filosofia quanto alla letteratura, all'estetica, all'etica.

The majority of this book is based on the concept of fallacies. This idea is the notion that people often come up with the wrong reasoning, the wrong conclusions, and the wrong steps in their logic.

Critical thinking can be defined as "finding out how to think better by enhancing one's thinking skills". People who are critical thinkers use the thinking procedure to evaluate, consider, reflect on, and piece together what they have learned or are currently learning. Unfortunately, much of everybody's thinking tends to be prejudiced, imprecise, uncertain, uninformed, or even sexist or racist. Since this ends up being significantly limiting, critical thinking is needed to improve its quality and value.

The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
