Beauty = God, Ugly = Man"Whatever I see as beautiful, I relate that to God. Whatever I see that's ugly, I relate that to man."
Any fallacies there? |

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.

You've not expressed an idea that includes a train of thought , or reasoning, that has led to a conclusion. You've merely expressed an opinion. So it isn't fallacious mainly because ugly and beauty are not definitions as much as they are your subjective views. Though I would wait for the logicians answer he is also a psychologist so you might get some free analysing. Lol

I agree with Skips 777 - there is only an expression of belief/opinion here. However disagreeable the assertion, there is no logical fallacy present.

I agree with the previous statements in general. First, it is poorly worded, and only reflects a belief not a fallacy. The statement resembles the Christian doctrine of Original Sin, where humanity is flawed and inherently evil, and in need of Divine redemption by the grace of of the perfect 'beauty' of God.
The statement "Whatever I see as beautiful, I relate that to God. Whatever I see that's ugly, I relate that to man." may be closer to a fallacy if someone uses this in an argument that "Beauty = God, Ugly = Man." Cum hoc ergo propter hoc (with this, therefore because of this). The fallacy would be, because I see humans do 'ugly' things, therefore humans are 'ugly.' |
