Why We Need To Understand Logical Fallacies

in #philosophy6 years ago (edited)


Understanding logical fallacies in today's argumentative society is so crucial especially with what's happening with politics lately. Being able to identify and catch logical fallacies ensures that you aren't being manipulated and mislead as well as you are able to steer conversation and debate back to rational and logical grounds. This is important even for yourself that you do not make fallacious claims accidentally. Having this basis for logic can empower us to have rational conversation that is lead or directed by emotion or false logic.

Here I will link my previous articles in the series:

Here's two amazing references I use for logical fallacies to quickly check them when needed:

Let me know what you think about logical fallacies, where they fall into place in our debates and discussion, if they should be taught more, and or maybe a better solution or offer a rebuttal. I'm waiting to hear from you!
