Again, I provided another link. How about it?Wikipedia has a list of LFs. I assume SE does also. I just threw Plato in. According to Wikipedia, Aristotle was the first to systematize fallacies, so I should have used him instead. — T Clark
You seem to misunderstand the use of the logical fallacy terms. They are used to label the unsound reasoning in others' arguments, not your own. You simply try to avoid the unsound reasoning that those labels refer to. I already said pretty much the same in the rest of the post you replied to. You don't need others to label your unsound reasoning if you error-check your reasoning yourself.For me, making sure my reasoning is sound is not accomplished by labeling an argument, it's by thinking it through and spelling out my thoughts. — T Clark

I don't think science is any closer to objectivity or truth than lots of other ways of seeing things. In fact, it's further away than some because it tries to give the illusion of objectivity where none exists. — T Clark
How about providing one of those "ways" of seeing things that is more objective than science. — Harry Hindu
I don't think an objective way of seeing things exists. The problem is that science pretends to be one. — T Clark — Harry Hindu
You response contradicts your earlier statement, which is why I asked for clarification.I think my response to your comment answered that question. — T Clark
Obviously you aren't consistent. Refer to the above exchange.Is that what objectivity means - experiences which are consistent with other experiences? If so, I would have no problem, but that's not how the term is generally used. — T Clark
You said that BitterCrank's list was too long. I asked you to compare the link I provided with what BitterCrank provided. Aren't you paying attention, or are you more interested in being obtuse because the conversation isn't going where you like?Do you mean this link?

How is that different from any other list of fallacies? — T Clark

Blind and inconsistent? Sorry, I can't perform miracles.I read through the quotes from my previous posts you provided. I don't see anything inconsistent. Also, I'm enjoying this conversation and am satisfied where it is going. — T Clark

This is great! You're a brilliant philosopher and teacher!! You've written a nasty, snotty post just so we can argue about whether or not it's an ad hominem attack. Or maybe it's the Fallacy of Abuse. I'm going to go with ad hominem, since you seem to be making a direct connection between my negative personal qualities and the truth of my position.
What do other people think? — T Clark
An observation of your inability to answer questions that would clarify previous posts isn't "nasty" except to those for which the truth hurts. All of this would have been avoided had you simply been intellectually honest and answered the question as asked. — Harry Hindu
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
