Importance of Logic
Parade MagazineAsk Marilyn Column
Question: “What is the most important thing a person can do to improve his or her critical thinking skills?”
Phyllis Evitch, Rice Lake, Wisconsin Answer: “Study logic. Without a sound foundation in the principles
of reasoning, you’ll be less able to understand your world, and the ramifications of this will ripple through everything from work to play. Even worse, you won’t realize what you’re missing.”

Definitions
Logic is the study of the methods and principles
of reasoning. An argument uses a set of facts or assumptions,
called premises, to support a conclusion. A fallacy is a deceptive argument—an argument
in which the conclusion is not well supported
by the premises.

Fallacy Structures
Appeal to Popularity Many people believe p is true; therefore ... p is true.
False Cause A came before B; therefore ... A caused B.
Appeal to Ignorance There is no proof that p is true;
therefore ... p is false.
Hasty Generalization A and B are linked one or a few times;
therefore ... A causes B or vice versa.
Limited Choice p is false; therefore ... only q can be true.

Fallacy Structures
Appeal to Emotion p is associated with a positive emotional response; therefore . . . p is true.
Personal Attack I have a problem with the person or group claiming p. p is not true.
Circular Reasoning p is true. p is restated in different words.
Diversion (Red Herring) p is related to q and I have an argument concerning q; therefore . . . p is true.
Straw Man I have an argument concerning a distorted version of p; therefore . . . I hope you are fooled into concluding I have an argument concerning the real version of p.

Definitions
A set is a collection of objects; the individual
objects are the members of the set. We often
describe sets by listing their members within a
pair of braces, {}. If there are too many members
to list, we can use three dots, …, to indicate a
continuing pattern.
