Is it permissible to dissect normal discourse not containing a formal argument as though it contained a formal argument? Is there fallacious reasoning within the discourse?For example: We are discussing Seds (a fictional word I’ve created for the sake of asking this question and an attempt at objectivity) and I point out that Seds often murder Peds. I say, “I do not support Seds and enforcement of sumptuary laws because they murder Peds. If you support Peds in their enforcement of certain sumptuary laws, you are indirectly condoning other behavior, including the murder of Peds.” |

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

Is it permissible to dissect normal discourse not containing a formal argument as though it contained a formal argument? Yes, of course. Read Dr. Bo's Rules of Reason. Is there fallacious reasoning within the discourse above? Please be more specific of what you mean by sumptuary laws? Otherwise,Hasty generalization. Slippery Slope fallacy. It is similar to claiming you don't have to obey traffic laws, or by doing so you condone police brutality. |
