Are there basic assumptions of logic and logical fallacies?Are there basic assumptions of logic and logical fallacies? For example, science has at least 3 basic assumptions that its built upon and they are: 1- There are natural causes for things that happen in the world around us. 2- Evidence from the natural world can be used to learn about those causes. 3- There is consistency in the causes that operate in the natural world.
So, I was wondering what the basic assumptions are for logic and logical fallacies? |

Besides the laws of logic, I don't know of any assumptions unique to logic or fallacies. |

Logical fallacies make the following assumption as far as I can tell. 1. Conclusions follow from premises independently of subjectivity. Logic gets into trouble when this is not the case. |
