Fallacies
This type of fallacy is made when the premises are just restatements of the conclusion because restating the conclusion as a premise is a fallacy.
What is the Circular Argument Fallacy.
This is a statement or a claim which is either true or false, but not both.
What is a proposition.
This form of argument uses specific premises to justify general conclusions.
What is inductive reasoning.
A property of two sets in which no element is shared in both sets.
Disjoint
This fallacy occurs when a justification that is presented appeals only to a lack of evidence to prove otherwise.
What is the Appeal to Ignorance Fallacy.
This logical connector is used to create a new proposition from two others and is only true when both propositions forming it are true.
What is 'AND'.
This form of argument uses general premises to justify specific conclusions.
What is deductive reasoning.
A set in which every element is an element of another set.
What is a subset.
A fallacy which establishes a general pattern backed off of an inadequate number of observations.
What is the Hasty Generalization Fallacy.
This tool is used to find the truth value of propositions formed with logical connectors and has a row for each combination of truth values of the propositions used.
What is a truth table.
This is a criterion of a deductive argument where the premises properly justify the conclusion.
What is validity.
A popular visual representation of multiple sets that depicts whether or not the set share elements.
What is a Venn Diagram.
This fallacy occurs when the presenter calls into question the character of their opponent rather than addressing the question at hand.
What is the Personal Attack Fallacy.
This logical connector connects two propositions, one considered a hypothesis or condition and another considered the conclusion. It is only false if the condition is true, but the conclusion is false.
What is an If ..., then... . statement.
A criterion of a deductive argument, which is already known to be valid, where the premises are also true.
What is sound.
A mathematical term for a collection of "things".
What is a set.
This fallacy attempts to replace the question being asked with a related question that is easier to argue.
What is the Straw Man Fallacy.
This is a conditional statement created from another conditional statement by interchanging the condition and the conclusion/consequence.
What is the converse of the original conditional statement.
A valid deductive argument of the form:
If p, then q.
p is true.
Then q is true.
If two sets share some common members but not all, we may describe these sets visually in a Venn Diagram by circles situated in this way with respect to one another.
What is overlapping.
