Informal fallacy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Philosophical logic, an informal fallacy is a pattern of reasoning which is false due to the falsity of one or more of its premises. It is in contrast to a logical or formal fallacy, which is false due to a fundamental flaw in its argument structure.
[edit] Types of informal fallacies
Begging the question is one of the most common types of informal fallacies, where there is a co-premise which would be the subject of an inference objection, which in effect is the question that has been "begged".
