PHIL 105-010January 26th, 2016Informal Fallacies.docx
PHIL 105-010
January 26th, 2016
Informal Fallacies
Please Note
The examples of fallacies are given in italics.
The explanations are in plain text.
You are welcome to go online to look for more examples.
You will be tested on these fallacies.
There is a practice quiz at the end.
Informal Fallacies
Informal Fallacies are errors in informal or casual reasoning.
They are often committed in casual conversation.
But you can also find them in the media.
People are often unaware that they are committing an informal fallacy.
Committing an informal fallacy often reveals what our reality and value assumptions are.
#1 Fallacy of Composition
When the attribute of an individual or part of something is attributed to the whole or group.
The cells in my body are round; therefore my body is round.
False. The attribute of a cell (roundness) cannot be attributed to what those cells make up, i.e., the body.
The cup holder in my car is made of plastic; therefore, my car is made of plastic.
#2 Fallacy of Division
The opposite of the fallacy of composition.
The idea that an attribute of the whole can be applied to the individual parts of that whole.
Drexel is an old university; therefore, all the professors are old.
False. The attribute of the whole (Drexel is old) cannot be applied to what makes up Drexel (for example, the professors).
The earth is round; therefore, all earthlings are round.
#3 Circular Reasoning
When the conclusion you arrive at is actually already present in your premises (the ideas you believe support your conclusion).
It appears as if you are repeating yourself.
There’s only survival of the fittest because only the fittest survive.
What the Bible says is true because the Bible is true (or because the Bible says so).
#4 Loaded Question
When you ask someone a question to which there is no good answer and the other person cannot extricate themselves
Have you stopped beating your wife yet?
If you says yes, you are still beating your wife.
If you say no, it means you admit to once beating your wife.
There is no way to win.
Are you stoned or stupid?
These are usually rhetorical questions.
#5 Naturalistic Fallacy
That because something is the case in nature it ought to be the case, usually among humans.
This is taking a reality assumption and converting it into a value assumption.
Swans are monogamous; therefore, humans should be monogamous.
Bonobos are promiscuous; therefore, humans should be promiscuous.
Fish swim; therefore, humans should swim.
#6 cum hoc ergo propter hoc
Also known as “correlation = causation”
However, correlation does not equal causation
Children who wear big shoes also have good handwriting. Therefore, wearing big shoes causes good handwriting.
No, wearing big shoes does NOT cause good handwriting. These things are merely correlated.
This is how superstitions can start.
Because I wore those red socks, I hit the home run. Those are my lucky red socks.
#7 Fallacy of Accident.
Fallacies
The document discusses various logical fallacies and their definitions. It begins by explaining the origins of the word "fallacy" and provides some background. It then proceeds to define and give examples of several common fallacies, including ad hominem, post hoc ergo propter hoc, slippery slope, hasty generalization, and argumentum ad populum. It concludes with reviewing the definitions of some fallacies and introducing new ones such as begging the question and red herring.
General Education - drill 5 Part 1.docx
The document summarizes key points from two passages. The first passage discusses the relationship between education and invention, noting that education does not discourage invention but that the way achievements are measured in education could inhibit risk-taking necessary for invention. The second passage argues that anyone can be taught to be an inventor by learning from failures instead of fearing them.
Logical Fallacies
This document outlines and defines various types of logical fallacies. It discusses language fallacies including lexical ambiguity, structural ambiguity, and the misuse of emotive words. It also examines fallacies of irrelevance such as hasty generalization, accident, division, composition, and oversimplification. Several informal fallacies are defined like argumentum ad populum, argumentum ad hominum, argumentum ad misericordiam, argumentum ad baculum, argumentum ad verecundiam, and argumentum ad ignoratiam.
General Education Drills
The document provides instructions for examinees taking a general education and professional education exam. It instructs examinees to first complete the general education section and submit their answer sheet before retaining the test booklet and moving on to the professional education section. The general education section contains multiple choice questions on various subjects, including English, Filipino, mathematics, science and history.

Bassham3 powerpoint lecturenotes_ch06
The document discusses several logical fallacies of insufficient evidence including:
1) Inappropriate appeal to authority, which occurs when an unreliable authority is cited.
2) Appeal to ignorance, which claims something is true just because it hasn't been proven false.
3) False alternatives, which insists there are fewer options than actually exist.
4) Loaded questions, which contain hidden assumptions that make it difficult to answer without appearing to endorse those assumptions.
