EXEMPLI GRATIA FALLACIES

Many fallacies are explained through some examples. To explain something through an example is not necessarily bad. It is a problem when it is a bad example. To give bad examples can be considered as a typical case of error in reasoning, of fallacy, that we name  Exempli Gratia  Fallacy.  We will give some (hopefully good)  examples of  bad examples used to explain some given categories of fallacies. This is important since presently exemplification is a key to the theory of fallacies. Our talk aims at examining both what a fallacy is and what an example is.  

As a special Black Friday offer, we will analyze two examples:

1) Example of "false" analogy, according to SEP: If a child gets a new toy he or she will want to play with it; So, if a nation gets new weapons, it will want to use them.

2) Example of "false" dilemma, according to YourDictionary: Would you rather pursue your passion or be stuck in a 9-to-5 job?
