4. Common Logical Fallacies
Logical fallacies are flaws in the reasoning of an argument that ultimately open your argument up for criticism. While these concepts might seem to be legitimate strategies to an argument on the surface, there is an underlying weakness to the reasoning here. These are approaches to argument that you are trying to avoid in your argument essays!! There are many different kinds of fallacies, but here are six of the most common.
Appeal to authority - You used the opinion or position of an authority figure, or institution of authority, in place of an actual argument.
Ad hominem - You attacked your opponent’s character or personal traits instead of engaging with their argument.
Begging the question (circular reasoning) - You presented a circular argument in which the conclusion was included in the premise. (Ex: Freedom of speech is important because people should be able to speak freely.)
Black and white - You presented two alternative states as the only possibilities, when in fact more possibilities exist.
No true Scotsman - You made what could be called an appeal to purity as a way to dismiss relevant criticisms or flaws of your argument.
Slippery slope - You made out like if we allow A to happen, then Z will eventually happen too, therefore A should not happen.
