September 16, 2020How do logicians even use fallacies in debates and disputes? How do they even learn all of them?
They don’t. Fallacies are not part of formal logic. In my opinion, learning all of those as a debate tactic is kind of a waste of time. (I also think that debates are a waste of time, but that’s just me.) It is more effective to learn logic (propositional, predicate, modal, etc.) and understand the implication operator very deeply. When you have a solid foundation in these “approximations” to the logic of natural language, it becomes very easy for you to identify potential errors in reasoning. Oh, also you should learn some statistics and probability. Inductive reasoning is used all the time and it’s good to understand how it differs from deductive reasoning. More on reddit.com
