- Informal Fallacy
- In informal logic and argumentation theory, its home discipline, it is the organizing category of the entire field: the standard catalogues of fallacies of relevance (ad hominem, appeal to force, red herring), of ambiguity (equivocation, amphiboly), of presumption (begging the question, false dilemma, complex question), and of weak induction (hasty generalization, slippery slope, false cause) are all enumerations of informal-fallacy species.
This sourceArgumentation-theoretic account organizing fallacies of relevance, ambiguity, presumption, and weak induction, with each species carrying a context-sensitive diagnostic and a legitimate look-alike.
