Logical Fallacy

This paper sequentially examines the definition of logic, the definition of logical fallacy, and the classification of logical fallacies. Logic could be defined as the rule of thinking. In line with the definition of logic, logical fallacy could be defined as a statement that is not in accordance with logic. Logical fallacies could be classified into 2 categories, they are fallacies of relevance and fallacies of insufficient evidence. Fallacies of relevance could be categorized into 11 groups, they are ad hominem; circumstantial ad hominem; ad hominem tu quoque; two wrongs make a right; appeal to fear; appeal to pity; appeal to belief of majority; straw man; red herring; equivocation; and circular reasoning. Fallacies of insufficient evidence could be categorized into 9 groups, they are inappropriate appeal to authority; appeal to ignorance; false alternatives; loaded question; questionable cause; hasty generalization; slippery slope; weak analogy; inconsistency.

A logical fallacy is an instance of faulty reasoning that renders an argument invalid or deceptive. A logical fallacy doesn’t prove anything, although seen from a superficial (or emotional) point of view it may have seem persuasive. Sales Negotiations are intended as the process that is prior to the “sale” itself; better said, it is what it is needed to persuade others (the buyers) to buy a product or service. And those are often driven by non-rational factors. A perfect habitat, then, for Logical Fallacies

On April 18, 2017, David Neiwert presented a talk to the University of Central Florida titled “The New Age of Eliminationism in America: How the Internet Feeds Radicalization and Dehumanization.” The next day, he sat down for a discussion with Dr. Barry Mauer, Interim Director of the Texts and Technology Doctoral Program and a codirector of the Citizen Curator Project, which is sponsoring exhibitions about Eliminationism and resilience on the anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shooting.
Neiwert summarized his April 18th talk as follows: The politics of elimination — embodied in nativism, white supremacism, and similar authoritarian ideologies -have long been part of the American political fabric, but in recent years have come bubbling forward in the wave of hate-crime incidents associated with the 2016 election, as well as mass killings such as those in Charleston, S.C., and at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Historically fueled by dehumanizing rhetoric and belief systems, eliminationism has become a common theme in rising rightwing ideologies around the globe, spread especially through the phenomenon of online radicalization, both among Islamist radicals and alt-right white nationalists. Neiwert’s talk will explore this history, and suggest ways of countering the spread of this kind of hate.

The paradigm that has shaped the development of humanity since the dawn of modern times, i.e. over the past 600 years, is based on the belief of the unlimited progress of a materialistic-oriented science. This rationalistic science and the technological implementation of her results are expected to provide humanity with the potential for unlimited growth based on the exploitation of the Earth's natural resources. In the understanding of anthroposophy, this age began at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century and is mainly desired and driven by Ahrimanian forces  with their drive for exclusive domination of the rational intelligence in the natural sciences.
This "old" paradigm of a purely rational scientific reason, in Europe mainly connected with the scientific approach of Galileo and Newton, has reached its limits in our time and has most likely already exceeded them.
The dawn of the "new paradigm" that is announced by science and modern thinking since the time of uncertainty , must be characterized by the understanding of a holistic living environment, in which the human being, free of external and materialistic constraints, is ready and willing to take responsibility for life on planet Earth. The utopia of Leonardo da Vinci, shaped at the beginning of this new epoch of humanity, is based on the human being, who has the will to move forward in search of freedom from the earthly shackles, because this human being wants to obey the spirit of cosmic laws only. This human being liberated from material constraints through a process of spiritual development, is ready to place himself consciously and responsibly as a free person at the center of development on earth.
