They're similar, but one deals with observable consequences of a proposition (appeal to consequences) and the other deals with an abstract moral value (moralistic fallacy). Moralistic fallacy: P) War is morally wrong. Implicit P) If something is morally wrong, it cannot be part of human nature. C) Therefore, war cannot be part of human nature. Here, the first premise is a moral principle, and the conclusion is a factual statement. Appeal to consequences P) If my country is at war, then people will die. P2) People dying is bad. C) Therefore, my country cannot be at war. Here, both the first premise and conclusion express some sort of 'fact', with the moral judgement being in the middle. |
