Is this a logical fallacy?What is it called when someone avoids giving a reason for an argument. For example: Person A: Well, this is just the way of life Person B: Why should it be or why is it that way? Person A: Why shouldn't it? Is this simply shifting the burden of proof? or some cognitive bias or something else? |

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

These are thought-terminating clichés. Vague, feel-good phrases used to discourage critical thought and make you accept something for what it is. Examples: "it's just the right thing to do!" "it's how the world works..." |
