Circular reasoning, also known as begging the question, is a logical fallacy where the conclusion of an argument is essentially the same as the premise. This creates a situation where no evidence is provided to support the conclusion, as the conclusion is assumed to be true from the beginning. It is a weak form of reasoning as it fails to provide any new information or evidence to support the point being made.
An ad hominem is a type of fallacy where an argument is directed against a person's character rather than the content of their argument. It involves attacking the individual making the argument rather than addressing the points they are trying to make.
An ad hominem fallacy, sometimes called a "genetic fallacy" or "to the person fallacy" or shorted to "ad hominem", is a kind of logical fallacy. This logical fallacy's definition is: attacking the person rather than the statements the person made.
