En defensa del error: Un ensayo sobre el arte de equivocarse

En defensa del error (In Defense of Error) by Kathryn Schulz is a groundbreaking book that challenges our understanding of mistakes and their role in shaping our lives.

Through a series of compelling arguments, Schulz invites us to embrace our errors as a fundamental aspect of human nature, rather than something to be ashamed of or corrected. With a unique blend of humor and intellectual rigor, Schulz explores the reasons why we find it so gratifying to be right and so irritating to be wrong, and how this mindset erodes our relationships with others.

She also delves into the fascinating world of fallibility, from misguided beliefs to failed predictions, from divorces to medical mistakes, and from false memories to shipwrecks. Throughout the book, Schulz draws on a diverse range of thinkers, including St.

Augustine, Darwin, Freud, Gertrude Stein, Alan Greenspan, and Groucho Marx, to propose a new way of understanding errors.

She argues that mistakes are both a gift and something we can learn from, transforming our perspective on the world, our relationships, and ourselves at a deeper level. With its thought-provoking insights and engaging writing style, In Defense of Error is an essential read for anyone looking to challenge their assumptions about mistakes and embrace the complexity of human nature.
