What is an example of philosophy that rejects the idea of universal values?

An example of a philosophy that rejects the idea of universal values is the philosophy of John Stuart Mill in his work 'On Liberty'. Mill argues that diversity and conflict (i.e. differing values) aid a society in progressing. Mill's argument from fallibility demonstrates this. If an individuals voice (i.e.their values) is silenced, to our knowledge what that person had to say could have been 'truth', to deny this statement would be to suppose your own infallibility. In the same way, what that person had to say could have been false, however generally speaking every statement has a portion of truth within it. In either situation however, to deny someone the right to speak their opinion/ values aids society. In the first situation the person contributes to a topic and thus adds to its truth and in the second, the persons incorrect value statement will help to refine and iron out any potential errors in the truth. Mill strengthens this idea through other arguments such as the tyranny of the majority, the argument for diversity and through his work on the development of faculties. Hope this is the kind of example you were looking for.

What does twisted logic mean in an agument?

The term twisted logic is used to mean that an argument has been stated which has the form of a logical argument, in which premises are used to derive conclusions for seemingly logical reasons, however the argument isn't actually logical; it contains hidden errors of logic. This is extremely common. Very few people, in my observation, ever have a truly logical argument about anything. People care much more about winning arguments than they do about being logical or honest.


Logical fallacies redirects the audience's focus from the actual argument to the character of the person supporting it?

Yes, that's correct. Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that can weaken an argument by shifting attention away from the evidence and reasoning presented, and instead focusing on irrelevant or misleading information about the person making the argument. It's important to be aware of these fallacies to ensure that arguments are based on solid logic and evidence.
