The fallacy of equivocation (also called the fallacy of ambiguity) is the fallacy whereby one incorrectly reasons that a conclusion follows from a premises but if the terms in the argument were properly distinguished, the conclusion would not follow. I characterize this fallacy in terms of three conditions. Namely, one commits the fallacy when: • 1. There is an ambiguous term in the argument. • 2. The ambiguous terms are disambiguated when evaluating the premises so as to make the premises true (or at least reasonable) • 3. The ambiguous terms are taken to have the same meaning so that the conclusion can be said to follow from the premises • ** This is a reupload of an earlier video I did on the Equivocation Fallacy.
