Informal Fallacy

Informal fallacies take many forms and are widespread in everyday discourse. Very often they involve bringing irrelevant information into an argument or they are based on assumptions that, when examined, prove to be incorrect. Informal fallacies are more dependent on misuse of language and of evidence

One way to go about evaluating an argument for fallacies is to return to the concept of the three fundamental appeals: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos.

• Fallacies of Ethos
• Fallacies of Logos
• Fallacies of Pathos
