89 views5 pages

Document Summary

Definition: to identify a fallacy, indicate what is wrong with the argument"s reasoning, and explain how the criteria for the fallacy apply to a particular argument. If the fallacy occurs in the main argument, and not the conclusion, locate the main conclusion of the argument that is fallacious. If the fallacy is in the context or the process of reasoning (such as the straw man fallacy), then identify that in this step. Identify the reason being given for that main point. Define the fallacy from the previous step. Show how the criteria from fallacy fit the argument. Demonstrate explicitly how the criteria of the fallacy fit in with the argument that you identified to be fallacious. If the argument commits more than one fallacy, explain which other fallacies are being committed, and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 for those fallacies.
