Post hoc fallacy is simply that if an event A occurs,then an event B occurs.

concluding that B occurred because of A is called post hoc fallacy.

eg- i stood up in the crowd .everyone else stood up too.

concluding that all stood because of me is post hoc fallacy.

fallacy of composition is that we assume what is true for a part will also be true for the whole .

eg- let's say prices of crops are high. It might be profitable for one farmer to increase the amount of crops he is selling. However, if all farmers where to sell more crops, there would be a flood of crops in the market and prices would go down, harming farmers overall.

Can you provide examples of cause and effect fallacies in arguments?

Cause and effect fallacies occur when a conclusion is drawn without proper evidence to support the connection between the cause and the effect. One example is the post hoc fallacy, where it is assumed that because one event happened before another, it must have caused it. Another example is the oversimplification fallacy, where a complex issue is reduced to a single cause and effect relationship.


Which is a form of the false causality fallacy?

Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a form of the false causality fallacy, which states that because one event happened after another, the first event caused the second. It ignores other possible explanations for the outcome.


When the rooster crows the sun rise therefore the rooster causes the sun to rise which fallacy is appropriate to this?

This is an example of a logical fallacy known as post hoc ergo propter hoc, which infers causation based solely on sequence of events. In reality, the rooster crowing and the sun rising are simply correlated events that occur independently of each other.

What is the difference between a non sequitur and a post hoc ergo propter hoc argument?

A non sequitur is a logical fallacy where a conclusion does not logically follow from the premises or arguments presented, resulting in a disconnection in reasoning. In contrast, a post hoc ergo propter hoc argument assumes a causal relationship between two events simply because one follows the other in time, often ignoring other possible explanations. While both involve faulty reasoning, the non sequitur lacks a logical connection entirely, whereas the post hoc fallacy specifically misattributes causation based on sequence.
