What is an argument? What is a bad argument? Train your argumentation skills by studying bad logic. In this video, we discuss 20 common argumentation mistakes or logical fallacies. • 00:00 Introduction: Spot the Fallacy • 02:10 What Is an Argument? • 05:10 Twenty Most Common Fallacies • 06:50 1 — Ad Hominem • 09:59 2 — Appeal to Common Belief • 12:20 3 — Appeal to Emotion • 14:15 4 — Appeal to Law • 16:30 5 — Argument from Offence • 17:42 6 — Argument from Trauma • 21:31 7 — Begging the Question • 23:12 8 — Bulverism • 25:00 9 — Cherry Picking • 28:59 10 — Chronological Snobbery • 30:32 11 — False Dilemma • 32:35 12 — Genetic Fallacy • 33:40 13 — No True Scotsman • 35:19 14 — Non Sequitur • 37:15 15 — Poisoning the Well • 38:52 16 — Reductio ad Hitlerum • 41:42 17 — Slippery Slope • 43:41 18 — Strawman Fallacy • 45:15 19 — Unfalsifiability • 47:18 20 — Whataboutism • 50:32 Recapitulation (and a Secret) • Spot the Fallacy is a game, a pedagogical tool I developed to help undergraduates who have little (sometimes no) grounding in logic and argumentation. • At the beginning of each course, I introduce and demonstrate 20 “most common” logical fallacies (such as ad hominem, slippery slope, chronological snobbery, etc). I then tell students that I will be deliberately committing one fallacy per lecture. And I challenge them to “catch me”. • Eyes light up. Learning becomes a game. The most rewarding part are the fun discussions we have at the end of each lecture about what students found problematic in my argumentation and whether it amounted to a fallacy or not. • Obviously, the purpose is to help hone transferable critical skills, train intellectual and moral virtues, and foster a posture of learning that avoids the opposite pitfalls of naïve credulity and categorical cynicism. Ironically but predictably, learning about “bad” logic has translated into good essays and even better conversations. • I try to mix it up each year by introducing new fallacies. This keeps fresh even for returning students. This year's two new fallacies are Argument from Trauma and Whataboutism. • Oxford-style Online Tutorials with Dr. Jason Lepojärvi: • https://studycslewis.com/references-m...
