Attacking the person.

This article explores various logical fallacies that undermine rational arguments. Key fallacies include attacking the person rather than the argument (Ad Hominem), the fallacy of appealing to authority without proper citation, the impact of presentation style over substantive content, and generalization errors derived from insufficient sample sizes. We also discuss the importance of representative samples in inductive reasoning and the dangers of drawing false analogies. Each fallacy is linked to illustrative video resources for deeper understanding.

Presentation Transcript

  1. 10 Attacking the person. The person presenting the argument is insulting the person, rather than arguing the actual issue.

  2. 11 Appeal to Authority. Just because experts say it, does not mean it’s true…

  3. 12 • Anonymous Authorities. • The authority is not named. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYA9ufivbDw

  4. 13 • Style over Substance. • The manner in which an argument is presented is taken to affect the likelihood that the conclusion is true. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQJ2SegGWyc&feature=related

  5. 14 • Hasty Generalization. • The size of the sample is too small to support the conclusion. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fffyNZ9ZJWI

  6. 15 • Unrepresentative sample. • The sample used in an inductive inference is relevantly different from the population as a whole. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgiKmvb1pzY

  7. 16 False Analogy. A and B are not the same.
