  • Essay / Logical Fallacies - 891

    What are logical fallacies, proofs and errors in misconceptions? The report will identify nine logical errors. If all the evidence for an argument appears true, the controversy may still be invalid if the logic used is not sanctioned (“Logical Fallacies,” 2014). Another name for this is called logical fallacy, in philosophy. There are many fallacies to be aware of when making a strong argument. The nine logical fallacies are: Simple Assertion/Circular Reasoning/Ad Hominem, Red Herring/Pseudo-Questions/False Cause and Radical Generalizations/Slippery Slope/Equivocation or Change of Means. “Simple statement/Circular reasoning/Ad hominem1. A simple assertion is when someone says a statement is true, because they outright believe it. When one is convinced by one's own opinions, the opposing opinion remains invalid. Only when we provide several pieces of evidence, and support them with inductive or deductive assertions. For example, the dog didn't eat the wedding cake because he is better trained. My father didn't say he hated family, because he is a loving man. Anyway, the frog didn't jump over the fence, because it wouldn't.2. Circular reasoning occurs when the cessation and previous statement are similar (nd, 2013). It cannot prove a conclusion, because if the conclusion is doubted, so is the premise. Also known as paradoxical thinking. For example, bridges are strong because they are built by expert construction workers, and construction workers have good engineering skills, which makes bridges safe. Ancient Egypt is the most famous civilization because it built the pyramids. In short, Sparta was a strong city, for they defended it with three hundred men.3. Ad hominem is when we send people...... middle of paper ......s it's entertaining; doing it is exciting, so watching movies will always be exciting. In summary, listening to music is peaceful; doing is relaxing, so listening to music will always be relaxing. Conclusion Finally, these are the nine logical fallacies. This is something everyone should learn, because it's important that people don't have misconceptions about each other. Especially if we rely on an unhealthy argument. Mistakes can only make things worse. By following these examples, it may now be easier to get an idea of ​​what to watch out for.ReferencesLogical errors. (2014). Introduction to logical fallacies.
